Foundation Studio (II), within the CEPT Foundation Programme continues to build upon the skills acquired during the first semester, adding abilities to use digital media in representation; to make models; to understand the assembly of built form through its building elements, materials and structures; to be able to draft architectural and topographical drawings: and eventually leads to bringing the skills and abilities together to tackle a design problem.

Joining Elements and Materials - Explored various joineries and made a stable composition with the help of wood and metal by cutting, drilling, bending, threading, and screwing. Made sketches of different joineries and composition to visualize it better.

Building Elements and Material - Visited Hunnarshala and Sankalan to gain practical experience. Learnt about building construction, soil analysis and made CSEB, rammed Earth Wall, and arches and domes.

Building Elements and Material - Further did pugging and made Adobe bricks.

Making and Testing Structure - Gained knowledge about types of forces acting on a surface and how load is equally distributed. Observed these forces present around us and designed a bridge and understood how load is transferred.

Made different sketches to understand the load transfer and how to make the structure more stable. At last, learnt the reason of failure of the bridge and rectified it by making the joints more stable that would transfer the load easily.

Tackling a Design Problem - Designed a workspace for a bamboo craftsperson in Nainital. Kept in mind the weather conditions and shadow to build a place which remains warm in Winters and provide a comfortable working space for the artisan and his helper. Derived areas and qualities of each space and made the final layout.

Plan, elevation and sections of the building.

Model.

Technical Drawing - Observed and drew the LD Museum. Made measure drawings and observed the construction of the building and then made plans, elevations and sections of the same.

Ground floor plan and photos of the model.
