CFP004

UIR20172

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 three different wall sections are labelled with the different building materials and elements.

Representation of the activities happening in the area by different kinds of people and animals using attributes and legend.

The composed image here has different photos that represent different kinds of stresses and the direction of force in each of them.

The final model is of the reed sticks and different joineries were explored while making it. Then the model was tested by putting weight on it and it failed because of torsion.

Hand drafted Plan and sections, labelled.

The exploded view of a wall section.

The four sections were made to understand the contour lines and slope and then composed on an A3 sheet.

The rendered plan and sections.

The two composed sheets has all the final drawings and the process drawings in it.

First the composition was made and then the subtractions were added. The close up view of one of the subtraction has jungle in front of it and then the final view was made.
