SUBJECT NAME: Architecture Design Studio – VII
SUBJECT CODE: 2X85001
4th Year: Semester-VIII
Pre requisite:
It is assumed that students should have developed an understanding of Designing private premises to Public
buildings, complexes, Public places etc., and incorporating the constraints derived from the context it is placed
in.
Rationale:
The studio explores the Understanding of design as a process of problem identification, space standards, Also
the understanding of Designing multi-utility buildings /campus / complexes, multiple housing units in an urban
setting with respect to social norms, climate and client’s expectations. It also requires incorporating the agenda of
building bye laws, structure, site planning and landscape and services within existing context.
