CFP004

UAR20234

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 cover page is very minimal and easy to understand.

Mapping and data representation itself speaks about that the exercise is all about the size and proportions in all the locality of any region.

Building elements & materials is the exercise where we gone deeper into the detailed elements of building construction.

These are the door sections of different different materials.

In this exercise by exploring various techniques of paper roll and cup rolls we could learn the forces applied on it.

In this exercise which is making & testing structures we were told to make structures that can hold up to 25 KG weight by using bamboo sticks.

In the technical drawing II we were told to sketch softline drawings of our house and then after measuring it should be drafted along with it.

After then making the drawings plans and sections and then elevations.

The design problem exercise was really a fun and explorer exercise as in that we got to explore more & more.

we also had many limitations while designing it and later on after studying all the data and making the final design we compile it and presented before the jury.
