The studio aims to develop the skills for elementary concepts, analysis, and communication necessary for setting the foundation, to become a professional planner. The Foundation Studio introduced Urban dynamics and components that function at the city and local level. It attempt to link the planning principles to give inputs to existing plans, planning legislations, bye laws and critically look at the existing planning framework. This studio explores different aspects and components of local area to develop an understanding of the city. Then keeping all the urban components in mind, planning for the local area was done by the using the tool named Town Planning Scheme for a peripheral area of the city. The different components of planning and the trade-offs that are likely to happen were learnt, when decisions of resource allocation particularly land and space were made. Planning is about a rational and evidence based outcome; of a process that carefully balances the conflicting needs of people and maximizes efficiency in public systems within the given financial or administrative constraints with the broad goals of enhanced liveability, sustainability and social equity.
