To achieve any architectural form, structural and construction modes play an important role. The way in which these forms and its volumetric qualities enrich the quality of space in architecture is the exploration studio is aiming at. Architects need to equip themselves to exploit the potential of these materials and methods, for which conceptual understanding of structural systems and form is essential. Studio aims at achieving the tectonic qualities through construction, material properties and manoeuvring of forces in structure. In the process role played by tectonics in perceiving and enhancing the desired spatial character is explored. Studio will equip students to design and detail meaningful forms using fundamentals of structural actions and material properties along with construction technology which is essential as a part of design process.
