The intent of the studio is to study the aspects which will create variations and generate a responsive design strategy with the context. While having constants of materials and programs, the idea is to bring forth variables of climate, site and context to define the built environment. The focus however will be on evolving this response through all the scales of design upto the smallest details.
What we expect by the end would be:
1. Evolution of two different building typologies in different climate zones in the Indian Sub-continent
2. Corresponding details which relate to each zone
3. Understanding of graphical techniques emphasizing the conceptual understanding.
4. Making communicative drawings and representative models indicating the conceptual understanding through variables
The process of the studio will involve a site-study, decoding the parameters of variables, studying the vernacular typology, understanding responses through works of architects in a similar context through experiences and lectures, developing of step by step proposals through the lens of context and being able to communicate it thoroughly.
