Exploration of Design - Material in Focus

The studio will require students to produce construction drawings for the design problem keeping into considerations their learning from relevant exercises conducted during the semester tenure. The process will require students to: o study various determining properties of a construction material (from identified material palette) o in reference to the design problem, evolve a combination of their own material palette o conceptualize & develop interior layout and various elements of interior space (seating element, working (table) element, storage, partitions, false ceiling layout, flooring layout etc.) adhering to the programmatic brief o suitably nomenclature the drawing with essential dimensions, specifications and surface finishes o via studio discussions understand the sequence and method of construction as undertaken on site and align drawing production in relation to same. o generate 3D models (physical and/or digital) and walkthroughs to demonstrate the design decisions in form of built spaces The final outcome will be in form of detailed construction working drawings ( floor plans, sections, elevations ) for their design and detail drawings for identified elements of interior space ( partition, furniture like seating, storage, etc.)
