Abstraction | Tectonics | Form

This studio unit intends to investigate into undefined#39;processesundefined#39; in architectural design activity.
First half of the studio, titled as ‘abstraction’, will involve developing abstract ideas from a ‘topic’ carefully selected by the student. The ‘topic’ could be an object, a process or an activity occurring in nature that has a fascinating play of forces. The ‘abstraction’ stage will come to conclusion with the introduction of site and program, wherein students will suggest the architectural form for the program with the help of derived models from ‘abstraction’ stage.
The second half, titled as ‘tectonics’, will focus on developing structural system, construction materials, and technology appropriate for the architectural form derived at end of last stage.
