Module-3 Spatial organizations of Masses in Architecture

Linear, radial, grid organization. Illustrations of linear, radial, grid
Faculty: organization in spatial organizations of masses in Architecture and
its application to the practice of design with both historical as well
as contemporary buildings.
 Introduction to Abstraction:
Module- 4 Ornamentation in Architecture: Historical perspective of the use of
ornament in buildings and use of ornament as a decoration to embellish
parts of a building. Use and need of ornament in architectural design –
Faculty:
different types of ornamentation in buildings.

Ornamentation in Architecture Criticism–Argument against

ornamentation. Ideas of architect Adolf Loos (Ornament and Crime);
Ornaments as economically inefficient and morally degenerate,
reduction of ornament or lack of decoration as the sign of an advanced
society.

Style in art & Architecture: Basis for classification of styles including

Module- 5 chronology of styles arrangement according to order that changes over
Faculty: time.

Evolution of styles: reflecting the emergence of new ideas as reaction to

earlier styles as a result of changing of fashions, beliefs, technology etc.
Popular and modern art, Art trends, periods and Isms.
