Lecture (L) Studio (S) Credits Internal Theory Exam Marks Practical/Viva Voce Total Marks Hrs/Wk Hrs/Wk Marks 12 12 50 50 100 Objective:

The course introduces application of analytical methods drawn from the theory courses and understand the various tools of analysis through study of small urban areasof suitablesize and also complements them.

Studio exercises will introduce intervention at different scales ranging from architectural to regional.

Studio Exercises:

.Urban Space and Activity Study Documentation of an area by denotation, drawings, connotation, graphics and writing. This would be done under the following 7 processes mentioned at A to G. The area would be selected so that the components of its fabric are amenable to illustration of attributes given from 1 to 7 and any other.

A. Base Information and Knowledge generation process- Understanding, Interpretation and analysis through following methods of data acquisition and tools:

(1) Identification of chosen area in different scales from architectural to regional Typology.

(3) Dynamic Attributes -Movement systems, Structure and Morphology of functions, Distribution of uses, etc.

(4) Quality of Environment, mapping environmental resources (5) Perception recording: Visual and Experiential (6)Social-Economic Attributes: Surveying through observation & interaction, collection of secondary data from reliable sources.

(7) Cultural Attributes.

B.Learning presentation of the Chronological History of genesis and evolution- through retrospective analysis using secondary and primary data of attributes in Part A above.

C. Learning the Idea of *Context'- from lower scale to higher scale, Physical and non all non-physical attributes.

D. Synthesis- Statements of Issues, Transformation, Potential, Constraints and Opportunities.

E. Preparation of Proposed Comprehensive Structure Plan’ Set with graphics and text by using the tools above.

F. Demonstration of Design Interventions: transformative proposition, new propositions, inserts, amalgamations and additions and extensions, and simple guideline suggestions.

G. Preparing a Report.
