Scheduling courses for 10 semesters for those who joined in 2010 Board of Studies on 30-04- 2011 1 B.ARCH – FIRST AND SECOND SEMESTERS 2010-11 Program Outcome: • Architectural profession deals directly with man, space, society and thus the future physical world. The B.Arch Program, as a consequence, addresses issues such as relevance to the context, man, society and time, concern to the environment, developments in the building industry, changing trends of a practicing architect etc. • The B.Arch graduate will have proficiency in creative, logical and lateral thinking processes, verbal and visual communication skills. • The B.Arch program will give a training specifically catering to the complex array of multi-faceted technical input and knowledge base needed for the Architectural Profession. • Practical application, hands on training, workshops are integrated in the state of the art technologies and techniques relevant to the field to put students on par with the global trends. • The B.Arch graduate acquires knowledge through exposure to the professional fields / industry in the form of a one year practical training with a qualified architect and site/field visits in respective subjects. • Managerial skills and Professional values are consciously instilled to develop entrepreneur abilities in the student. • The B.Arch program molds a student in different areas of interests through variety of specializations and ensures continued enhancement of such interests while nurturing other avenues. BOARD OF STUDIES MEETING ON 24.04.2010 B.ARCH – FIRST AND SECOND SEMESTERS 2010-11 Subject Lectures Tutorials Practical Credits Code ARA11 3 0 0 3 ARA11 Theory of Architecture Preamble: Architecture is a multidimensional, multifaceted profession bridging the gap between the arts and the sciences. The study of architecture involves aesthetics, psychological, perceptional, physical and functional aspects. The Theory of Architecture course provides the theoretical and fundamental inputs to the core subject of Basic and Architectural Design. Therefore the theory of architecture is structured to provide fundamental principles and concepts of architecture and design. Program Outcome addressed: This course will address the following aspects • Proficiency in creative, logical and lateral thinking processes, verbal and visual communication skills. • The principles of architecture to address the context of man, space, society and his physical world. Competency: • Understanding of functional and aesthetic aspects of architecture. • Understanding of the principles of visual and spatial composition. • Comprehension of the architect’s role in a design process.

Architecture as a profession and the role of architect in brief. The need for appropriate space and environment for performing the activities efficiently. The impact of the built environment on the activity. The two way relationship between activity and environment. The concept of beauty: Philosophical and psychological, subjective and objective perspectives. Visual Perception and Aesthetic Components of Design : Basic principles of visual perception in architecture: Primary elements form and its visual qualities form and space. Additive forms and subtractive forms. Specific qualities of design to include dominance, dramatic effect, punctuating effect, harmony, unity, climax, accentuation and contrast and colors, color theory, the application of colors. Above aspects to be taught with examples from Architecture. BOARD OF STUDIES MEETING ON 24.04.2010 B.ARCH – FIRST AND SECOND SEMESTERS 2010-11 Principles of Composition: Ordering principles in architecture – axis, symmetry, hierarchy, rhythm, balance. Application of ordering principles in buildings. Proportion – introduction to the concept and various proportioning systems. Theories of proportion, golden section, the order, and anthropometrics proportion. Scale – application of human scale and generic scale in architecture. Above aspects to be taught with examples from Architecture. Principles of Organisation: Spatial relationship with building examples: Space within space, interlocking spaces, adjacent spaces, spaces linked by a common space. Spatial organization: influencing factors and various types with building examples: centralized, linear, radial, clustered, grid. Function of building circulation, components of building circulation – the building approach, the building entrance, configuration of the path, path space relationship, and form of circulation space with building example. Simple circulation diagrams for buildings. Architectural Design – Process: Architectural design: The process and strategies to be considered in evolving design. Understanding the process, methods of case study-Integrating aesthetic and functional aspects in design – relationship between the beliefs, values, aspirations of the user, spatial requirements and the built environment.
