MAR12-205 (P) DESIGN STUDIO-II

Objectives This is a design studio course with its main focus on Planning of a high raised structures which is the need of the day in most of our urban areas be it of single functional use such as Residential, Commercial, Hospital, Hospitality, Entertainment or Educational etc. where the complexity of Design parameters Vs the site constraints are likely to be of high importance in addition to stringent follow up of Building Bye-laws i.e.understanding of the program requirements and design of tall buildings by attempting one of the Topics listed as Design ProjectsThe course encourages students to use the computer as a design tool.Aim is to make students understand the complexity in finding Design solution in an atmosphere where the intelligent use of design solutions play a vital role in completion of design objectives in addition to giving due weightage to the green, sustainable and ecological aspects through an attempt to design any one of the topics listed as Design projects.DESIGN PROJECT PLANNING & DESIGN OF HIGH RISE BUILDINGS (TO INCLUDE MULTI SPECIALITY HOSPITALS, IT NODES / KNOWLEDGE CENTRES AND RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS ETC) Students would be required to prepare detailed plans and sections of any suitable tall building after careful site selection and with regards to the function, Character, climatic& cultural aspects. They would be encouraged to study and apply suitable structural and service systems after acquiring knowledge about design standards& case studies of contemporary high rise buildings. Special features of skyscrapers such as service floors, sky lobbies, express elevators, skip stage pumping system, fire fighting arrangements etc. will be given importance.MULTI - USE STRUCTURESMultiuse structures which incorporate commercial spaces in the lower floors, office spaces in the upper floors and residential apartments at the top floors have become the emerging typology in many cities worldwide. Students will be encouraged to investigate this type of buildings and explore design solutions that would lead to a smooth integration of various functions, while keeping in mind the cultural and local factors. Integration of intelligent building management systems that lead to energy efficiency, intelligent security and enhanced firefighting services would be mandatory. Students will be encouraged to design building form and fabric in response to the cultural values and lifestyle that is in vogue in Indian cities.ENTERTAINMENT CENTRES Entertainment Centers which houses Retail Commercial Spaces (excl window shopping), I Max / Multiplex Theatres, Shopping Plazas, Games mostly indoors, Cyber Café, and Food Joints etc. These can go as high as to qualify to a High Raised dense Design Structures involving variety of functions inviting up-to date Design Solutions including Multi level parking facilities and incorporation of latest state of Art Design Gadgets / Materials etc. Integration of Intelligent Building Management Systems that lead to Energy Efficiency, Intelligent Security and Enhanced Fire Fighting Services would be Mandatory. Students will be encouraged to design building form and fabric in response to the cultural values and lifestyle that is in vogue in Indian cities

MAR12-306(P) DESIGN STUDIO III

ObjectiveExpose Students to the principles of environmental planning and understanding of ecological, social and economic factors while planning for sustainable development of hilly areas and coastal area buildings by attempting any one of the Topics listed as Design Projects

DESIGN PROJECT

PLANNING AND DESIGN FOR TOURISM IN HILL / COASTAL AREAS

Hill and coastal areas are environmentally fragile due to their location, topography and natural vegetation. They are especially vulnerable in our country where the population density is very high and the environmental bye laws are not stringent. Environmental analysis of such areas and their development for tourism requires inter disciplinary approach involving remote sensing, Geographical information systems, environmental modeling techniques, ecological sustainability and socio economic factors.

Scholars will be encouraged to conduct case studies of such environmentally susceptible hill / coastal areas and analyze the same using Satellite imagery, GIS software, environmental modeling techniques and field surveys. Moreover analysis of these areas for tourism development and land suitability will be carried out in order to develop a broad framework for planning and development. Students would be encouraged to investigate the special building rules and byelaws prevalent for hill / coastal areas from an ecological perspective.

Both hill & coastal areas are rich in resources such as scenic areas, views and vistas .Hence while planning for the optimized development of these areas scholars have to consider the visual impact assessment as an integral part of environmental impact assessment, so as to conserve hill sites and coast. It can be inferred that this exercise would advocate a balanced approach between conservation,sustainability & development.

Planning and Designing of Theme based Entertainment Centre / Parks / Sport Facilities.

Theme based Entertainment Centers / Parks or Sport Facilities for Special Traditional Sport events like Water Sports of Traditional Kerala style taking Geographical features peculiar to a Region. Aim is to bring out importance of land and it forms integrating state of Art Sport Technologies with Genuine Design inputs to work towards proprietary Architectural style. Diligent care to preserve the Ecology and Methods to integrate over all development plans evolved by the Local Bodies to promote Local Tourism in Design Solution as key or pivotal element.

Objective is to make students aware of overall gambit and pivotal role which can be played by the architect as part local authoritative representative.16

Planning and Designing of Hospitality Project(s)

Mainly Hotels / Resorts of various nature and classification with clear distinction between Resorts and Hotels involving experimental Architectural Design Solutions or Elements. Objective is to make the Students to understand the requirement in a changing scenario of Shortened Distances Vs the Rigid requirement of comforts in the following lines.

The Tourism and Hotel Industry are an in separable entities having influence on each other in a greater way. Design Solution to one has a balancing influential impact on the other.

In changing world far tourist is not that far at present but however the level expectations of comfort as a routine or special by the world i.e. client has still an unmeasured distance when decision to visit a place either for leisure / business or for recreation etc.

When a holistic view of the requirement is analyzed there needs to be a lot to be worked upon and the entire burden or responsibility needs to be shouldered by the architects when the ultimately the physical and sociological needs are measured physically.

Focus is to \ Acquaint the Designer with socio-economic affordability of tourist, level of expectation of a visitor in a global scenario especially when the market of comfort, security and communication tools/ gadgets are in a free flow available mode.

use of these on comprehensive understanding of the requirement with an intellectual solutions be it green, sustainable, bio, energy saving or efficiency in bldg design, intelligent or conservative / retrofit methods to make the old structure energetic (rejuvenating techniques) to exercise the minds of Designer with innovative ideas will be the objective at the post graduate level.(Any one -180 marks)
