Introduction We are happy to place before you, the 2021 edition of the Studio Units Catalog, for the Monsoon Semester. This is the sixth edition of L4 (Postgraduate) catalog series. The objective is to compile, showcase and share the range of studio units conducted in the postgraduate programs in Faculty of Architecture, Faculty of Design, Faculty of Planning, and Faculty of Management. It is a matter of some satisfaction for us that we are able to place this catalog before you in these very challenging COVID times. The University has been operational in the hybrid mode, which allowed students to access the campus on only three days every week. In spite of these constraints, tutors and students found innovative ways to make models and have produced interesting work. Postgraduate programs at CEPT are focused on helping students develop specialized skills and abilities. CEPT’s five-year undergraduate programs, comprising levels L1, L2 and L3, are focused on training apprentice ready professionals. L1 is a common foundation year aimed at building foundational abilities among students. L2, comprising years 2 and 3, are aimed at developing key design abilities like, visualizing and communicating, planning and organizing, constructing and specifying, and building arguments and rationales. In L3, 4th and 5th year students develop higher level abilities to exercise architectural / design judgment. The studio units have small groups of students led by one or two tutors, a greater curricular weightage in terms of credits and time, and a semester calendar which allows 4 weeks of uninterrupted studio work towards the end of the semester. The studios have a focussed approach with specific learning outcomes. The L4, or postgraduate studios are aimed at specific and specialized abilities like urban design, furniture design, architectural conservation, or ward management. These are specialized domains of study, usually taught by instructors with years of practice. The studio units presented in this catalog showcase the skills and abilities developed by the students under tutelage of able instructors and mentors. We have had to identify new ways of working and this semester along with the print version, we are sharing the online catalog. We are also putting up an online exhibition along with an abridged exhibition on-campus. The catalog enables us to present consolidated outputs of our continued efforts. We hope to share them with the larger community that includes people interested in the built environment, and education, prospective students, alumni and professionals from the habitat industry. This publication represents the work produced by around 640 of our students from 26 L4 studio units taught by 73 faculty members and supported by 46 teaching associates and teaching assistants. We will also be putting up an online website exhibition along with an abridged on-campus exhibition. We wish to express our profound thanks to all the unit tutors, teaching associates and assistants, students and staff involved in this effort. We also extend our sincere thanks to all our reviewers, jurors and guest speakers

who have positively influenced the education of our young promising practitioners.

Students were trained to detail out a building with focus on its tectonics, environmental factors and program. Students analyzed an urban situation as informers of siting a building and structuring a response to its surrounding. They learned to push forward innovative building solutions to engage with the pressing and speculative nature of time. Key considerations accounted for, while dealing with the studio were: 1. Emphasis on space as an outcome of affordance and synthesis of detail. 2. Expression of detail as a response to structural forces, material, climate and program. 3. Representation and communication of the expressive dimension of detail as a partner to space. Through this studio, students learned to: develop an experimental attitude while tackling design problems; e aware of and attempt design as a methodical search; develop abilities to adapt to design challenges within the constraints of use of basic to the latest available technology; develop ability to critically observe, analyze and elucidate an architectural form at various scales while recognizing its presence in a physical context.

The studio explored the typology of high-rise buildings as a premise of mainstream housing development for the future. The design approach intervened to generate livability in vertical blocks. With growing development coupled with shortage of land, developer driven housing purely delivers isolated apartment towers having stacked floors in every part of the city, excessively consuming our urban experience and spaces. By analyzing the existing, students observed the manner in which conventional high-rise blocks have very little to do with different profiles of people living together, apart from their existence in their isolated apartments. The focus was to work towards design solutions that can be part of mainstream high-rise developments to create living spaces that boost physical and mental well-being, and allow integration without sacrificing privacy. It was also to address the need of a vertical community living environment that caters to changing social, economic, technological and environmental dynamics and shifts. Throughout the studio unit, the dimensions of professional practice were implied as methodology to conduct the individual work while applying the aspects of real world design practice in terms of decision making, collaboration, deliverable & communications.

The prevalent discourse on architecture positions the architectural project as a singular act, made separate from the continuity and collective condition of the environment which we are (still) in obligation to share. The studio challenged this tendency to iconize the architectural project within our disciplinary discourse by a persistent curiosity to understand it as a part of the built environment, assessing its viability and limitations through a systematic inquiry into the conditions and consequences of its design. This semester, through the discovery of relevant questions, the studio investigated Capitol Complex, Chandigarh, a project familiar to us through its reputation and the established narratives of its successes. Students identified problems inherent in the existing design by way of vital relationships it failed to consider. Subtle, yet profound intervention/s that resolved the problems identified followed, shifting the emphasis from design solutions derived primarily from the expression of form to that of solving problems of relevance. Thus, the potential of the program was rekindled, as the meaning of use and continuity of the built environment was understood as that which constitutes critical architecture in service of responsibility over mere reputation.

The foundation studio trained students in core skills of architectural historical and theoretical enquiry through the analysis of built environments and relevant archival material. Students learnt to observe and document a selected site, and analyse architectural cues to understand transformation. The pedagogy of the studio aimed to expand formalist histories, which typically dominate the students’ own consciousness of architectural history, and introduce them to larger questions of how the built environment is produced, used, remembered, represented, and transformed. The studio was organized in two modules, which covered historical documentation strategies and the process of constructing a timeline that chronicles architectural transformation. The modules were discrete and self-contained in terms of exercises, objectives and outcomes, but came together as a continuous process of inquiry through seminars and reflection sessions. By the end of the semester, students became aware of the analytical connections and conceptual overlaps inherent in built environment analysis, and were able to make appropriate connections across bodies of scholarship and their own modes of thinking, analysis, and writing.

Sonal Mithal The first module of the studio undertook an inquiry into and presentation of the palimpsestic nature of Lucknow’s architectural history in the form of palimpsestic historiographical maps. This privileged the archives, and later problematized the connoisseur-curatorial approach to selective archivability of events which biases the reading of a history. Further, the studio examined material evidence of an architectural form to locate it within the context of a political assertion and social hierarchy. UP State Archives, Amir-uddaula Library, and online resources are some of the archives that were accessed for this purpose. The second module used the potential of individuals to live, remember, and nurture their own memories in a fluid, erratic form so as to create a collective memory of a past event which is driven by state institutionalized modern history. This project-driven section of the studio helped students engage with the specifics of the problem and proactively take positions, in this case a politically charged position of remembering a traumatic event that has nationalist undertones. At the same time, spatializing the curated content aligns with the larger discipline of architecture, which makes a case for a transect between architecture and humanities.

The Foundation Studio was focused on imparting and developing essential skills and understanding of conservation processes with an aim to build students’ capacity for engagement with complexities of built heritage conservation. The studio was divided into the following three interdependent modules: Documentation of Built Heritage; Understanding Traditional Building Materials; Analysis, Interpretation and Value Assessment. The first module commenced with an introduction to tools and methodologies for recording and methodical documentation of the historic structures as per the existing condition. The second module focused on understanding the properties of traditional building materials (lime, stone, timber, bricks, etc), their life cycles and the processes of their deterioration through site observations, hands-on exploration and laboratory analysis. The module also explored conservation approaches with a focus on the compatibility of restoration materials. The third module aimed to develop the capacity for critical analysis of historic structures and their context leading to identification, interpretation and assessment of values embedded, respectively, in their various aspects.

Cities are complex systems that are persistently subjected to processes of physical, environmental, social, economic, and cultural change. Historic urban areas form integral parts of these systems by being representative of the traditional built fabric, spatial morphology, local identity, culture, and the collective heritage of a place. At a global level, these areas often become symbols of cultural tourism. The need to safeguard their authenticity of tangible and intangible aspects amidst the challenge of urban growth and the shifting lifestyle and space usage patterns of its users is therefore crucial. Urban regeneration is an all-inclusive action-based process that aims at bringing long-term solutions to urban problems in order to make significant improvement in the overall condition of a place. This studio, with the aim of addressing the complex narratives of historic urban sites through the lens of conservation, introduced its participants to tools and methods of documenting, mapping, and assessing cultural assets of a historic city. The participants engaged with the site, its inhabitants, and the stakeholders responsible for transformation, to arrive at a strategy of conservation led urban regeneration. The studio also included input sessions, expert lectures and workshops.

The studio begins with a fundamental premise of landscape architecture: reading & representing a landscape and responding to it articulately. In the first part ‘Reading & Representing’, the studio looked at ways of seeing, recording, and decoding a place through drawings. It proceeded to make a set of constructs that measure and explore the landscape in an interpretative manner. In the second part ‘Imagining & Constructing’, the students derived a larger idea related to the landscape they investigated. Based on their vision, narrative and representation of the landscape studied, they attempted to imagine a response to the site. The studio brief is as follows: One Forest The forest/ the jungle/ the woods: A place that we sense as archaic, primeval; a space that is deep & dense. Forests are complex, layered and varied in terms of ecology, chronology & the human narratives that describe them. While they can be understood as rational relationships of geography, soil, climate, and vegetation they are also more than the sum of these parts and have their place deep in the human imagination. We investigated a forest and attempted to look at it from a multi-dimensional perspective to develop many ways of understanding this complex unit and then imagined a response to its many natures that allows a meaningful engagement with it.

The studio engaged with public open spaces of varying sizes and characters, to achieve an understanding of their evolution and present functioning. The intangible attributes of a space were also studied, including its connections to the art and traditions of the place, and the cultural meanings that it holds for its varied set of users. After completing this studio unit, the students had studied a public open space in detail through different lenses including geography, society, art, culture and heritage, ecology and micro climate. The spaces were also looked at in connection with the temporarily and seasonality of their uses. This study and the need to develop multiple methods of engaging with public space, called for creative thinking to find ways to strengthen community engagement in planning and design, over varying economic and social strata, genders and ages. Students were asked to write concisely and clearly about the topics covered in the Studio, including the design process and the final design. The studio exposed students to theories and writings related to landscape architecture and open space, such as theories of landscape Perception and Place, Critical regionalism, Ecological determinism and Landscape Urbanism.

Constant dependence on the ground water, coupled with diminishing recharge due to growing previous surfaces around the water bodies, makes the cities more vulnerable to climate changes. Urban rivers go through the vicious cycle of negligence and degradation, and slowly become an eyesore. There has never been a more urgent need to restore these damaged river ecosystems than now. The studio Water Plus advocated design proposals along a growing urban water edge to create ecological designs to nurture social interactions. The studio invited students to conceive and generate innovative public landscapes that re imagine an urban water edge from the lens of ecology. If social spaces and ecology can go hand in hand, we can create great civic spaces for the next century. With the imminent environmental crisis, people have started to believe in the value of a balanced environment. What is good for other organisms is also good for people. In fact, people need to be made aware of the value of natural systems so that they can be the active stewards of the environment. To create such a transformational environment, landscape architects must prove the value of their solutions as performance landscapes that can be tested across time and adverse scenarios.

The studio aimed to explore, imagine and visualise simple products for built spaces and their functioning to arrive at need-based functional products, which facilitate the users’ needs. The thrust was to identify the need and the design opportunity to develop a new product or redesign the existing product to improve its function, design and relationship to expectations of the user. Students were introduced to product design considerations and structured design processes to be able to apply the same while designing the products. They explored the potential of design with the elements of systems thinking. The design and detail development enabled them to translate the idea into a tangible product: a prototype fit for manufacture. The aspects of product and product graphics were coordinated with market and user feedback to establish product validation. Working drawings and detailed presentation with iterations showing clarity in thinking, illustrated the process behind the design decisions. A prototype 3D Model was also constructed. After completing this studio unit, the students were enabled to: conduct core need identification; understand User/ target Audience; engage in persona Building; comprehend the influence/role of product/ object in the space/system; and present ecosystem mapping

This studio explored the interrelationship of Architecture and Furniture design fields. Building and furniture share an affinity with the ground plane, they guide all the forces and loads that reside in or rest on them, downward into the earth. Architecture is furniture at macro scale and furniture is architecture at micro scale. Architecture from different movements of the 20th Century was studied for its innovative use of material, technology, construction, form, structure, details, geometry, and language. The study was conducted through extensive use of drawings, sketches and analytical diagrams. This process helped to synthesize the design principles and issues leading to the design of architecture, which was then taken forward and developed in stages to derive the design of the furniture pieces. The final design was represented with good quality furniture drawings and part prototype. The aim of this studio was to design a table through stage wise evolution of form and geometry, exploration of material properties and testing of the structure. The exercises provided an overview of the furniture design process, established key concepts of furniture design and opened up further design possibilities for students.

We do not live in isolation and are bound by societal norms where we tend to largely follow the ways of our communities. We eat similar food, we dress similarly, and we travel with similar ideas, and interact accordingly. From childhood we observe our parents and the way of life they follow. In school and college we learn similarly from our peers and friends. All of these influences are the conditioning we go through which makes us who we are as individuals. Sometimes we do not even have the time or space to observe what other societies and cultures are like. We may even look at these as alien and therefore ignore them. The process of design for the outdoors will necessarily force us to study other communities and societies, unlearn a lot of things which are our biases, so as to be able to work towards a ‘just’ design solution. This is critical to the process of good design. The environment is under a lot of pressure as populations across the world grow. Living environments are becoming unlivable as technology advances. As designers who are sensitive and conscious about our micro and macro environment, we need to work to counter this downward spiral. This reflected in our design solutions in terms of materials used, and processes followed.

The studio began at exploring the properties of rigid and flexible materials and to interchange their properties by making rigid material flexible and vice versa. The students made models to showcase the experience. Next, to enhance the character of the outdoor space aesthetically pleasing and functional furniture pieces are required. The furniture piece should not only adapt human behaviour but also serve as a sculptural element, thus giving a visual identity to the outdoors. Thus, the project brief was to study the existing campuses/ private localities and their outdoors design and develop a furniture piece that enhances the usage and the aesthetic value of the campus. Students studied human behaviour and postures while they were outdoors. They also considered the materials and the production capabilities along with ergonomics, safety measures, recyclability & self-sustainability. Production drawings were prepared and a fullscale prototype was made and tested in the selected environments.

Mili Parekh Dropbox is a container that is placed within a community settlement to address their needs; it also stimulates the cultural identity of its inhabitants and surrounding. The studio was divided into different parts which taught students to develop an ability to sensitively understand contextual scale in terms of urban interiors. In the first part, the contextual study gave them an understanding of how to comprehend a given site, surrounding and user group. In the Proportion study, they learnt to understand the scale and proportions of an insert in the context of the neighbourhood. In Programme development, students learnt the methods to develop a client brief based on questioning ways of living and needs within the context. Then they came up with an appropriate program along with naming their box and testing it through the selected context (site/program). The ability to analyze, visualize and interpret information as relevant to space designing was covered in concept development and final design insert. Each part had new visualizations in the form of different mediums. Students learnt to represent their analysis, understand and design the concept in the form of visuals, technical drawings and 3D renderings within the social context.

Natural systems are effective in producing material and energy efficient solutions in response to external stimuli and environment. The unit strove to decipher the logic embedded within systems of mathematics, geometry, hierarchical logic, material properties and jointing mechanisms to develop novel interior architectural systems. Can we not just see nature as “forms” but rather learn from the functional principles of natural forms a method that is radically different from today’s methods and systems of construction and design? Adding to this the power of computational design and analytics and digital manufacturing, the industry today is moving towards integrated design solutions with a focus on maximizing system performance. Concepts of variable stiffness, material based mechanics, ventilation strategies; aggregate structures will become the base to develop a material system. [Material system is a system resulting out of the properties inherent to the material or a manipulation of those, in-order to extract maximum desired performance v/s minimum material usage.] Physical modeling was the key to understanding material relationships and for digital calibrations. Various stages of the studio included developing performance active models, clear diagramming, prototyping, detailing and joineries, physical and digital fabrication processes.

The Big Rethink is a series of postgraduate interior design studios focused on developing a multitude of notions, approaches, positions and arguments within the interior design field. This semester, the third one in the series, the studio challenges the concept of Interior Materiality in interior design. It offers an opportunity to develop a design position in different contexts by questioning preconceived notions of interior design. It emphasizes the relationship between Interior materiality and its expression, identity and design outcomes. The first four weeks are a part of the common FD PG Foundation, where students from all streams work together to develop skills and abilities in drawing and making. The latter part of the studio is divided into two modules: the first builds an argument on interior materiality and the second module explores three key roles of an interior designer with each student working on three smaller projects. Role one focuses on practices that work within the context of an ‘era’, role two focuses on practices that are sited within the ‘standardisation’ of the typical floor plan and role three challenges the boundaries between interior design and architecture. The studio focuses on representing experiential and ephemeral qualities, planning and organising strategies, detailing and construction techniques, through the lens of interior materiality.

Majority of the cities in India are growing rapidly due to rapid urbanization. Many of them prepare macro level plans (Development Plans and Master Plans) to manage future growth. However, these plans mainly focus on overall zoning, trunk infrastructure network and broad-brush regulations, and generally fail to ensure its implementation through coherent, high quality and sustainable development at local levels. In this context, this studio is focused on developing core competencies in students for preparing micro level plans for both, greenfield (through TPS) and brownfield areas (through LAP), which go beyond conventional approaches, and integrate multi-disciplinary aspects. In this studio, the students prepare Local Area Plans and Town Planning Schemes in different cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Surat and Vadodara. After reviewing existing situation, statutory provisions and stakeholder consultations, they develop a vision and proposals for street network, zoning, infrastructure, green network etc and explore ways to implement them through land reconstitution, incentivized redevelopment and other strategies after estimating compensation and contribution from each land parcel. Multiple presentations by external experts and practitioners are conducted throughout the semester to facilitate the learning.

The studio focused on preparing Master Plans for large green field developments in peri-urban areas. To respond to the demand of expansion in the rapidly growing urban centers, governments facilitate such new developments through various development mechanisms. The studio operated within the existing development framework of the Integrated Township Policy which is a typically developer driven activity and involved design on a large tract of land under single ownership. The design of the project involved preparing a three dimensional urban design master plan with strategies of street network and urban block, public open spaces, public amenities and infrastructure, integration of public transport systems, strategies for pedestrian and vehicular priority on streets, defining the building height and bulk, building uses and landscape strategy. Students were required to prepare an urban design master plan for these developments with an emphasis on creating liveable neighbourhoods that explore the ideas of future living through their designs. The design process consistently retained its focus on how these ideas can be translated into reality. The studio outcome also involved preparing effective representation graphics and persuasive communication strategy for the design project.

The focus of the studio was to expose the students to the dynamic real estate market. This studio encourages each student to develop a finacially viable and implimentable project on a site which can be up for the development in near future. This studio took up a series of greenfield/ brownfield sites across a city based on variation in terms of predominant land use, location, accessibility, market conditions and other local market characters. Each student developed the site as per the existing demand for real-estate, the status of micro markets including production rate, unsold inventory and vacancy. Students developed their skills for land potential analysis and applied the process on a few sites to select the final site for detailed project development. They studied the linkages and significant relevance of each micromarket to the local employment generation magnets to prepare an implementable project with adherence to all the existing regulations and policies. The final output of a comprehensive project proposal included details for financial resource development for the project. This gave the students an opportunity to understand the intersection of real estate and financial markets and prepared them for the housing/ real estate industry.

The absence of a comprehensive city wide infrastructure plan and an inadequate understanding or attention to cross cutting issues in water and sanitation sector often results in poor project formulation. It is possible to improve on this by developing integrated projects within the framework of comprehensive urban water and sanitation plan. This studio focused on developing integrated infrastructure projects for storm-water, water, sanitation and solid waste management for a given city and its immediate periphery. This year the case city was Ahmadabad, Gujarat. Infrastructure development activities for these sectors whether in public or private domain, involve plan preparation, project formulation and implementation. These required it to be supported with appropriate institutional, technical and financial analysis. The learning from this studio equips students with wider understanding of plan formulation process; tools and techniques of project identification, costing and phasing to ensure service performance improvements and resource efficiency for aforementioned key water-sanitation sectors. The projects were identified with due consideration to on-going national programmes and emerging sectoral concepts of integrated urban water management, and to water sensitive urban planning and design, circular economy, fecal sludge and septage management.

Service organizations respond to the requirements of users to satisfy some needs and leave certain experiences in the minds of the users through a service delivery system. This studio addressed the design, operational and strategic aspects of managing service systems. Service Operations Management (SOM) focuses on how firms can deliver excellent service while achieving success. Current practice reveals a lack of widespread understanding of effective service management. This course took the position that there is enormous potential to improve services. The studio was designed to equip students with the concepts and tools to do so. Students learned to design distinctive and sustainable service strategies, to manage users and employees, to leverage data to enhance performance, and to reshape their organizations to suit evolving users’ needs and changing competitive landscapes. Students learned different tools and techniques of operations and management in assessing the efficiency of urban services. The learning outcomes were realized by appropriate case studies through different exercises

The live exercise helped students to critically analyse issues in their premise involving components of both hard facilities management like building services, fabric maintenance, etc, as well as soft facilities management issues such as governance and people management. There were weekly exercises which encouraged students to apply tools and techniques for strengthening skills of observation, visualization, critical thinking,problem-solving and communication. The exercises, which were conducted both individually and in group facilitated students to understand the processes- involving status assessment, identification of gaps leading to development of alternatives and solutions and an implementation plan. The students developed key strategies for managing public and private facilities, identified alternatives and also conducted stakeholder interactions to develop optimal solutions leading to higher end-user satisfaction. The studio included ‘meet the manger’ sessions for cross-sectoral learning from alumni and experts. The Foundation Studio directed the students to prepare a facilities management implementation plan for their respective sites.
