Program Details
The CEPT Foundation Program is envisioned to achieve excellence in the skills, abilities, and capacities required by first-year students while ensuring that
they also have a strong work ethic. The program is premised on the understanding that engaging with built environments requires an in-depth
understanding of one's areas of expertise and the ability to dialogue.
Students learn to understand materials and structures and explore them through models. These skills build towards the development of critical thinking by
working on data collection, analysis, and representation in a range of aspects of the built environment. Overall, the Program develops the ability to tackle
complex problems in their environment, in each student.
Learning and teaching is centered on the studio or units which comprises 12 to 15 students. L2 studio comprises 2nd and 3rd year students and L3 studios
comprises 4th and 5th year students. L2 studios focuses on Building arguments and rationales. In L3 studios, the students use multiple design abilities to
solve complex design problems.
Technology courses
The technology courses provide scientific principles, methods and framework to engage in the making of the interiors. They also technically equip
professionals to engage in the systematic analysis and production of built space using current tools and technologies.
This course aims to use knowledge of technical and digital representation of drawing for analysing the built environments.
The course has been developed to give comprehensive knowledge about systems and solutions for Interior Design. It includes concepts such as construction,
context, material use and other physical properties.
Course 3: Interior Services
This course primarily looks at workings of complex systems of Interior spaces such as HVAC, Lighting and electricity, and Plumbing. It also looks at the
role of an Interior Designer vis a vis collaboration with various consultants in the profession.
Course 4: Skins, Surfaces & Finishes
This course gives the understanding of the final appearance of all exposed interior surfaces; floors, walls, ceilings, and all finish natural and synthetic
materials, such as tile, stone, plastic laminate, wood, and paint, etc.

Course 5: Appropriate and Emerging Design Technology
This course focuses on emerging and cutting edge technologies for the built environment with a concentration on assembly based construction, digital
fabrication, integrated design systems, and performance-based solutions.
This course has been developed to give a thorough knowledge of Building information, management, and performance systems through the use of
appropriate software and simulation tools.
Course 7: People, Process & Technology
This course looks at the intersection of 3 concepts that define the field, practice, and pedagogy of Interior Design.
History Courses
The history courses provide for a comprehension of the social, cultural, as well a historical debate that has a direct impact on thinking as future
practitioners. They allow us to look at Interior Design for built spaces and other related development within India and abroad through a lens of history.
These are disseminated through:
Course-1: History of Interior Design
The course explores the changes in functional conventions and spatial outlines during the past century in the dwelling, retail, and commercial
establishments. Changes in any establishment occur due to new social forms, cultural Influences, political compulsions, economic realities, and
Technological Innovations.
Course-2: Industrial revolution & Arts and Crafts movement
Whereas proponents of the Industrial Revolution encouraged mechanization and new technology, people in the Arts and Crafts movement looked back to
the Middle Ages. Both groups firmly believed in progress—the improvement or even perfectibility of the human condition—yet one group looked to the
future while the other favored a return to the past. Mechanization caused rapid and dramatic social changes that continued into the Victorian period (1837–
1901).
Elective Courses
Students are offered every semester a basket of elective courses which they can choose from. These courses include photography, graphic design, pottery,
glass workshop, etc. These courses are both classroom based as well as workshop based.
