SEMESTER -3
Design II and III 3S-A-1 / 3S-AI-1 & 4S-A-1 / 4S-AI-1

The study of design shall continue with further progress and complexity in aesthetic qualities but with more emphasis on architectural and functional aspects like a) Complexity in circulation- and pattern of horizontals as well as vertical movement. b) Integration in terms of facilitation, planform, volume, concept and space organization. c) Application of basic building materials to evolve a design with their aesthetic appeal, functional quality and elementary structural concepts to evolve specific form. d) Climatic consideration for the design, orientation of building on site, simple concepts of sun shading devices, their application in elevations as functional / aesthetic solutions. Sessional work : Exercise on one or few aspects at a time followed by at least two design problems arranged in sequence leading to more and more complexity.
