A SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE

DESIGN BREIF:
You are going to design a School of Architecture!

You will agree that a discipline like architecture deserves an identity of its own, responsive environments that support creative souls, that do not stop at
technicalities but elevate it to Art. Design studio VI is giving an opportunity for just that. It is giving an opportunity to put your experience, your observations,
your thoughts and emotions regarding a unique space for students of architecture into action.
Since this is a design for architects-in-making, this building and its environs should be based on a few fundamental concepts such as:
• An open text book. A place from where its students shall draw inspiration,
• A context sensitive design. A place that is derived from its place, climate & local culture,
• An appropriate design. A place built out of local materials using appropriate techniques,
• A reflection of local artistry. A place that created opportunity for local building arts and crafts,
• A crucible for new age pedagogy. A place for experimentation of new technologies of teaching -learning.

QUALITATIVE REQUIREMENTS

correlation between design and context need to be established

act as a learning source --- a learning source that maintains students conscience about standard details of design through
INSPIRATION surroundings --- a learning source that can enhance student's experimentation

TIMELESSNESS the design should be capable of incremental updation of the institution --- adaptabilty

FLEXIBLE rigidity often disrupts timelessness and also experience of occupants --- spaces should be flexible enough and allow users to
