CFP004

UAR20018

The first semester focused on developing drawing and representation skills. Continuing in a similar vein, during the second semester, the CFP Studio component focuses on building analytical abilities. Exercises like mapping and data representation engage with on-ground reality, requiring that the students develop their ability to observe, collect data and analyse it, as well as communicate and represent it meaningfully; building elements and materials allows for initial familiarization with these, theoretically as well as through observation of built spaces around; while making and testing structures uses hands-on experience to enable conceptual understanding. Technical drawing II builds on the skills imbibed initially and develops them towards further complexity. All the exercises find their culmination in tackling a design problem, which brings together the skills and abilities while introducing the students for the first time to the design process. These skills will be put to use during L2 studios, and will be discussed in their relevance to the professional practice that designers, architects and urban planners engage in.

The final project aimed to explore movement within a space, and how transition spaces in a house could be used to create a distinct user experience.

The roof is pitched, as it is stronger and more table. It ensures ease of water drainage and adds aesthetic value.

Sketching work over the semester explored the play of light in various subtracted forms, and how they could be part of a landscape or be used for various activites.
