A Place for Prayer

After completing the studio, the student will be able to achieve the following;

The studio is going to concentrate most essentially and primarily to create an architectural language and work on strong premise to make subtle and yet a bold statement for the project brief.

In order to achieve this basic goal, studio will take help of several exercises, to first try and understand what are the requirement of this space and how to achieve the same. To make supportive group readings on the subject, be it of any reference. This is crucial as the references of these readings will give clues to go further in the project.

The third will be to have site visits of case studies and the chosen site to explore its context, consider climate ( mainly sun movement for natural light ) and then the study and exploitation of appropriate material.

Several iterations and design development of the concept would give challenges to the imagination and reality with which the student would be working on.

To create a synergy and synthesis with the aspects of architecture, be it spatial or physical, be it tangible or intangible aspects and be it positive or negative. The final design would be able to display the inherent aspects of architecture and try to achieve its goal.
