Design Studio 1

 

Architectural Design Studio 1 is structured as an introduction to architectural design.

 

Themed “Body and Space”, this studio emphasizes the inhabitation of space by the self that concentrates on the

internal conditions of space.

Exercises are planned to introduce architecture as a combination of subjective (mental, poetic and sentimental aspects of design process) and objective (sensible, rational and pragmatic aspects of design process) parameters with the

user at the center of them.

 

The first project involves the interpretation of ‘self’ as an introduction to the elements of visual arts and using them to express subjective ideas through the process of making an object;

 

the second project tackles the issue of objective and practical parameters, viz. relation between form and

function, scale, proportion, and anthropometry by designing a small detailed space.

 

Subsequently, in the final project, students will undertake a series of small studio-based group exercises for better understanding of space and the application of principles of design, leading to the design of an individual space –

considering both subjective and objective aspect of architectural design.
