“Tectonics” in architecture is achieving the expressive qualities through construction and maneuvering of forces in structure such that the entity created cannot be defined by only structure and construction. In achieving tectonics, selection, organization and manipulation of form plays an important role in the design process. Architects need to equip themselves to exploit the potential of various materials and methods, for which conceptual understanding of structural systems and form is very essential.

This studio equipped students to handle advances in material and technology to achieve meaningful forms in such a way that this process was seen to become a major design determinant. The studio aimed at imparting the basic knowledge of local and global forms with respect to structural actions. It dealt with the association of space and tectonics by developing the understanding of material, form and structure in such a way that students used this understanding in their design to integrate the structure and construction along with spatial qualities to achieve tectonic expression. At the end of the studio, students had evolved the ability to compose structure, construction and spatial expression to a level of “Tectonics”.
