x a paper presentation and a summer case study
OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE:
overall nurturing of the student with issues in practice and field outside
EXPECTED SKILLS / KNOWLEDGE TRANSFERRED:
better grooming than just books and theories.
COURSE CONTENTS:
The creative electives provide an opportunity to express talents which are different from
architecture but related to imagination, visualization & creation. They offer hands-on experience
of unique ingenuity & workmanship. The essence of creative domain can be achieved by
exploring different materials, techniques, processes; developing creative products; finishing &
presenting the product for the concepts evolved. Outcome will be through portfolio &
presentations.

COURSE OVERVIEW:
Provides knowledge on the traditional art form, innovations in and influences on architecture and
thinking process in design;
OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE:
To analyze various art forms, and understand the techniques involved in creative thinking.
EXPECTED SKILLS / KNOWLEDGE TRANSFERRED:
different skills for creative thinking, understanding various art forms, appreciate art and
architecture.
The following is a representative list of what may constitute Institute projects:
Seminars, Tutorials/ additional classes for any course, Guest Lectures, putting up
Exhibitions, Workshops, participating in Architectural Competitions or conducting Site Visits or
Study Tours. Provides knowledge on to support student being sensitive design;
• Students will get exposure & awareness of various built environment at different geographical places of
architectural relevance across the state, region, country & world.
• Students will get the understanding of “synthesis of learning from various courses” by observing, registering &
photo documenting of above-stated places.
• Programme outcome will be extremely valuable in creating a knowledge base on architecture field not
only in India but of nearby countries as well.
• Production of classified images, sketches, notes on first-hand experiences. of many a monument, institution,
settlement in India, which become a basis for future research.
COURSE CONTENTS:
•Student and faculty members stay at the selected place for 8 to 15 days.
• Students will get comprehensive awareness of that place.
• Students will sketch, write notes,& photo/video document that place.
• Students will also document the social, cultural, environmental aspects of that place
• Students came back at the institute and make the final edited document and report within remaining days.
Evaluation: Stages: Proposal and on final submission of the paper.
Students contribute to the topic/area is of critical importance.
Note:
x The Related Study Programme (RSP) at the Institute of Architecture is a unique contribution to Architectural
education. Initially called measure drawings, it is intended to take the students out into the field to get the
first-hand experience of traditionally built environments. This subject recognizes the value of the traditional
architecture as well as the importance of field experiences and travel in the learning of architecture.
x The students are encouraged to learn about not only the architectural form also related components of
architectural relevance.
x detailed out as per academic calendar
x a paper presentation on any subject of interest in the core or elective subjects.
x The Student needs to identify an area for research and in consultation with a guide make a proposal first. On
approval, this is to be developed through the summer and culminate as a research paper. Requirements
(from students): Proposal, reviews, final presentation and paper.
x a summer case study where the student has to select a built building by one of the architects and have a live
document the building and analyze the building and a word of the concept according to the architect.
OR
EDUCATIONAL TOUR- I (during semester break)
A study of Indian architecture both traditional and contemporary to be done during the educational tour
and a precise report to be submitted. b) Thorough measured drawing of architecture/ architectural
elements/ pieces to be done owing to a particular style, period, influence, spatial appraisal, social or cultural
importance etc. at least within seven days at a particular location of interest should be submitted by each
student.
