Creation of new Paradigms in architectural design – This Design studio addresses

predominantly urban issues such as Housing, Urban design and Conservation. Though
emphasis is on the study of existing problems in our cities, scholars will be encouraged to
strive for innovative architectural solutions for the same. Team work will be required to
undertake such projects & hence the ability of the student as a team player will be critical.

• Housing – The various types of housing projects in a typical urban scenario can be taken
with
suitable design parameters that get established after conducting a rigorous study. Analysis of
existing design trends & user preferences need to be ascertained. Awareness about special
building byelaws applicable for Group housing schemes is essential. In addition to design
issues such as security, accessibility, identity, social interaction, comfort, economy etc that
would be investigated, the application of Fractals in design can also be explored. Ex. Housing
for the poor / Slum dwellers, Multi-storeyed apartments for Govt. / corporate employees,
Multi-storeyed condominiums for the rich etc.

• Urban design or Conservation – Urban design projects could deal with redevelopment of
problem areas such as riverfronts, beach fronts, market areas, bazaars or commercial &
residential districts that have reached dead end situation. It could also deal with emerging
nodes of transportation with its surrounding areas, the design of city level open spaces such
as parks, plazas etc.
Alternatively, conservation strategies for heritage areas along with revitalization techniques
can also be attempted. The projects thus undertaken as group work will have to ultimately
contribute ideas for the improvement of the quality of the urban environment.
