Possible parallels between two grammars Guide :Neelkanth Chhaya

SYNTACTIC COMPARISON Rule of joining words Categorizing elements
An inquiry into the possible parallel between the rules of language grammar and architectural grammar. Aim and Goal The aim of the study is to , 1. Find out whether the traditional architecture of Ahmedabad can be seen as grammar like we understand a language grammar 2. Compare the principles of ‘orderly’ to the rules of Sanskrit grammar to speculate upon possible parallels. Syntactic formation

The process of study proceeds through a series of exercises aimed at revealing the nature of relationship between rules of form making in architecture as well as language. The study is based on the assumption that a particular architecture which is built by certain people in certain period of time follows one particular language of architecture. The Study will simultaneously look at DRAMA OF LIGHT various different examples of a particular OPEN-SEMIOPEN-OPEN type which will follow an hierarchical comparison at certain level. Process:
TENSE
SINGULAR
PURAL
Examination of Panini’s Astadhyayi. The search includes basic formation of syntactic and morphological rules. In syntactic one looks at nouns and verbs as essential ‘padas’ for sentence formation. 2.Examination of above in terms of representation in Architectural grammar. This includes spatial and tectonic analysis. 3.Analysis of architectural work and firsthand experience of the detail, unit, cluster level formations which reflects rules of grammar as underlying base. 4. Process divides the house into different elements for study purpose. Each element has been divided into further parts which participates in creating the bigger whole. 5.Description of the observed order in existing buildings of old city Ahmedabad as diagrams or in terms of bodily and mental experience.
