FIRST YEAR FACULTY
OBJECTIVES:
To enable the conceptualization of form, space and structure through creative thinking and
to initiate architectural design process deriving from first principles.
To involve students in a design project(s) that will involve simple space planning and the
understanding of the functional aspects of good design.
To involve students in a small scale building project(s) which will sensitize them to
intelligent planning that is responsive to the environmental context.
To involve students in building case study by choosing appropriate examples to enable
them to formulate and concretize their concepts and architectural program.
To engage in discussion and analytical thinking by the conduct of seminars/ workshops.
To enable the presentation of concepts through various modes and techniques that will
move constantly between 2D representation and 3D modelling.
SYLLABUS
Scale and Complexity: projects involving small span, single space, single use spaces with
simple movement, predominantly horizontal, as well as simple function public buildings of
small scale; passive energy.
Areas of focus/ concern:
• Architectural form and space.
• Aesthetic and psychological experience of form and space in terms of scale, colour, light, texture,
etc.
• Function and need: user requirements, anthropometrics, space standards, circulation.
• Image and symbolism.
Typology/ project: bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, shop, exhibition pavilion, children’s
environment, snack bar, residence, petrol bunk, fire station.

A House remains the place where we all spend most of the time of our lives and experience architecture,
learn to connect to it through emotions. A house represents our culture our backgrounds, ownership, safety.
House is a place we all want to return where everyone finds comfort. From the caves of the beginning of
civilization to the smart homes, we are improving the quality of our dwelling’s day by day with the
development of various technologies.
PROGRAMME:
given below are approximate requirements of what a standard house design dictate. Nevertheless, students are
welcome to add spaces as per their design and spatial requirements. Minimum spaces to be covered in the
