THE BRIEF

​

                   The STTP focuses on thinking about architecture, through a conscious view on the patterns, the concepts and the architectural formative ideas, which aid in the evolution of an architectural built-form. The shared understanding among great buildings of past & present would be the arenas of discussion in this training program, as they demonstrate basic architectural ideas, which are perceptible as constructive patterns. The basic purpose of this training program is to promote the understanding of architectural patterns, to examine original similarities over the time and to process architectural analysis as a tool for design. This training program would serve as a think tank on conceptual idea evolution during design process.

                   This unique training program for architectural students, would act as a catalyzer for grooming the deign thought process broadly covering various approaches and strategies under the topic- Architecture and Design, Site Planning, Form and Space, Principles of Design, Climate Responsive Architecture, Elements of Building Architecture and Circulation to built-spaces on residential projects.

     

The training program would cater to

• When does a conceptual idea evolve during the design process?

• How fundamental building elements rationalize any built-form?

• What are the dynamic relationships among building elements?

• Which are the formative idea that expresses architecture?

• Why any thoughtful design rationalizes its pure functionality?

​

                The training program aims to document an architectural project through 6 stages. The registered participants would be grouped by the training program team and explore hands on practice sessions ONLINE. Each group would be supplemented with a study kit as a resource material for the training program

 

The study kit would comprises of 3 sets of material about the selected project as

1-The project information,

2-The sample Auto-Cad file &

3-The analytical templates.

             

          Each group shall be working on the allotted project under any one category, i.e. Vernacular or Contemporary throughout the training program. By doing this process, one could learn entire process of analyzing buildings and later can apply the same knowledge to design a building. Each selected building is analyzed and summarized on salient characteristics. The analysis and interpretations are pertaining to built-forms, which could be graphically represented. This process encapsulates the essential minimum of the design without which the entire perception would not exist, but from which the architecture can be created. The training program would conclude the conceptual formative ideas through formal & spatial characteristics of each building in such a way that the thought process can be traced & outlined.
