The studio required students to evolve a fresh design based on the programmatic requirements introduced at the onset of the semester and produce detailed construction drawings for the same, implementing their learning from sequentially crafted and regularly discussed exercises during the tenure of the complete semester. These exercises were introduced and conducted towards facilitating the student to experience site execution of the project, in real-time. Project budgetary constraints were intentionally ignored to facilitate design & material exploration.

The process adopted for the semester required the students to study properties, details, sizes, etc. of various construction materials and later to develop their own material palette. The criteria for selection of material were based on respective understanding of the concept of the project, activity designed and constructability.

The resultant design solution was more harmonious and integrated. The produced drawings bore the reflection of core design philosophy, conscious choice of materials and thus presented suitable details. The sequence of produced drawings also enabled us to understand the interdependency of one drawing on another. This strengthened the students’ logical reasoning to produce a specific drawing.
