PRACTICAL I - DESIGN COMMUNICATION STUDIO 1:

SKETCHING & MEDIA EXPLORATION

INTRODUCTION

Drawingis studied as a flexible, generative process. Within abstract and representational

work, the character of lines, tones, and marks are studied as inseparable from the concept and

content of drawings. The exercises encourage use freehand sketching to explore design ideas,

and become familiar with toolsthat can be used for conceptual design and design

development.

CONTENTS

1. Exercises include freehand drawing and sketching studies - Exploring Line, Shape,

Tone, Texture and Depth. Quality of line, material representation, proportions are

considered.

2. Construct pictorial representations of 3-D objects or landscapes and examine the effect

of Light and Shade.

3. Discuss elementary principles of vision as well as theories of perspective, light and

shade, contrast, atmospheric effect and color.

4. Represent different textures and surfaces such as glass, water, stonework and fabric, sky

etc.

5. Illustrate the techniques of rendering using different media - colour pencils,

watercolours, poster colours, and collage.

6. Explore 3D design media - paper/ clay/ wire and POP as tools to represent design ideas.

CRITERIA

The individual student work is evaluated based on understanding of fundamental principles

of drawing and composition, application of light and shade, aesthetic appeal, creativity,

appropriate use of materials and technique and presentation.

PRACTICAL II - DESIGN STUDIO 1: DESIGN PROCESS - 2D & 3D DESIGN

INTRODUCTION

Design Studio 1 broadens the student‟s understanding of the role of visual organization in

creating meaning and function. Included in this are design explorations of the elements and

principles that apply to every aspect of art and design. Background Study - introduction to

basic skills/techniques - more developed issues concerning abstraction, pattern and

perception - analysis contexts, sample design projects and sources of inspiration.

CONTENT

2D Design Projects: Basic design elements of point, line, plane, form, shape, scale, and

color are manipulated following fundamental principles of visual perception to create 2D

designs. These design projects explore pattern formation, positive and negative space,

colour and texture variations to satisfy a central design concept.

3D Design Projects: Creation of form and volume using repetitive linear structural elements,

geometric forms -additive and subtractive, fluid forms from wire mesh and clay - adhering

to basic principles of design. Multiple materials from clay, wire, POP, board, paper can be

used for creation of 3D forms and volumes.

Nature in Design: Nature is used as a source of inspiration - abstraction and development of

design from the inspiration can focus on a specific element, principle, or multiple elements

to produce a 3D or 2D design that reflects the spirit of the inspiration. Different media can

be used in the process to increase student skill at material manipulation.

CRITERIA

A clear design process is followed from description of the design problem, and constraints,

to inspiration, development of concept, initial sketches, to selection of a idea, development,

completion of the design, and final presentation. Project is evaluated based on Concept

clarity, Design Development, Design effectiveness, Execution and Presentation

PRACTICAL III - DESIGN STUDIO 2: SPATIAL DYNAMICS

INTRODUCTION

Spatial Dynamics is a studio-based learning into the relationships between physical objects

and spatial phenomena. These relationships are examined to identify forces and patterns in

processes of movement, change and growth. The principle focus of this course is working

with intrinsic forces: structure, balance and modular composition, and extrinsic forces:

gravity, space and time.

CONTENT

1. Investigate the structure of form and the shaping of space by exploring and expressing

relationships between space, time, and objects.Create objects with quick and easy-to-

manipulate materials like paper, clay, and plaster. Explore the relationship between mass,

volume and plane, and learn to think deductively and intuitively.

2. Explore spatial modulation through introduction of forms and elements, modification of

the envelope and variation in perception due to time and movement. Create models to

reflect change in perception and experience of design due to various extrinsic forces.

Volumetric or perceptual changes in volume with movement can also be explored.

3. Explore variations in form through transformations - cubic transformations in 2D, in 3D

linear frame model, planar structure and cubic massing. Create internal volumes and

transform them with colour, texture and /or light to satisfy specific design concept.

CRITERIA

All projects are model presentations, accompanied by conceptual sketches and drawings. The

designs are evaluated based on understanding of material, creativity and skill in use of

material, the design idea or concept, execution and presentation.

PRACTICAL V - DESIGN STUDIO 3: EXISTING CONSTRUCT

INTRODUCTION

Using an existing site, this studio will focus on the fundamentals of documenting an existing

context or building envelope. Students learn to observe site conditions, take measurements

and record all relevant data. The information is recorded in the form of 2D and 3D drawings

and used as the basis of further design intervention. A design problem is presented to the

students requiring them to transform the space for a specific use.

CONTENT

1. Use techniques including measuring, surveying, photographing, analyzing of materials

and construction details, researching databases for relevant, related information and

understanding the existing structural and mechanical systems.

2. Organize and create a full architectural documentation set using drafting skills acquired in

communication Studios.

3. The existing space is then transformed by Design intervention as required. Any design

intervention is required to acknowledge the influence of the recorded context and

facilitate the user requirement specified in the design problem. The design solution

provided by the student should be recorded in the form of 2D drawings - Plans,

Elevations, Sections.

4. Visual presentation - 3D views, concept sketches, and/or models are prepared for

effective presentation of the design.

CRITERIA

The Student work is evaluated based on the level of detail in documentation, understanding

of the context and design issues arising from contextual elements, quality of documentation

drawings, design concept, design development and design presentation - visual and oral.
