architect in creating the product and facilitating the process
 To understand the needs of privacy, communal spaces, efficiency of open spaces and
ideas of extended living areas
 To differentiate and understand the nature of organic and planned communities

Architectural Design Project
CONTACT HOURS: 21hrs/Week (21 Studios)
Max. CIE Marks: 100
Max. SEE Marks (Viva-voce Exam): 100
CREDITS: 18
OBJECTIVE:
 To demonstrate an ability to comprehend the nature of architectural problem and create a
brief which sets the frame work for design
 To demonstrate an advanced level design ability to convert the brief set forth earlier into
a speculative proposition of design
 To articulate and delineate the propositions of design into an architectural solution
addressing all the dimensions
OUTLINE:
Architectural Design Projects can be of any scale and size (in terms of built areas) as long as the
required rigour and depth is demonstrated by the student to merit consideration as a final project.
Very large campus projects can be avoided as the work more often ends with a large number of
structures but with minimal variation and content. It is expected that all genre of projects (study
or design) would end in a design solution; in fact all projects should be grounded in some kind of
critical enquiry. The maximum weightage for study shall be 25% in case of a Study + Design
Project. The depth of enquiry can be extended and the time spent on design can be reduced in a
specific case, but such a project should demonstrate clarity in terms of research design. The
following stages have been identified as a generic model of the studio. The stages can be fine
tuned depending on the resources. It is expected that this project will be run as a studio with
individual guidance under a project coordinator and assisted by several guides.
1. Pre-Project: This stage should ideally be accomplished in the previous semester. The
work involves students to discuss with the faculty to identify an area of interest or
specific types of buildings. This stage should end with a project proposal giving routine
information on site, location, need, broad requirements and scale. In addition, the
proposal should clearly indicate the “project question” or an area (or areas) of interest.
2. Project Seminar: Student shall present a seminar on the project topic which would
include the following;
a. Precedents of similar projects, either actual visit to such projects or through
literature reviews
b. Cultural, contextual, historical, technological, programmatic concerns of the
project
c. Prevalent or historical models of architectural approach to such projects and a
critique of such models
BMS COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, BANGALORE
Autonomous College under VTU
d. A rhetorical or speculative statement that would be the basis of further
investigation (for example: Architecture in the information age – Design of
Libraries in the new virtual reality regime).
Documentation which is part of this presentation shall be taken as completion of “Case
Study” part of the final requirement.
3. Mid Reviews: There shall be reviews to clarify the conceptual statements and
assumptions of the students. Students shall present a clearly articulated response to
context, programme and users. Preliminary / Conceptual and development of
architectural scheme shall be the end product of this stage.
4. Final Review: This stage should consist of all the works which would be presented at the
Viva-voce. Mode of presentation shall be tentative.
The final output shall include a Report, All Drawings, Study Models and Presentation Model.
The Report shall discuss the Programme, Site Analysis, Literature Review, Case Studies,
Design Criteria, Concept and Detailed Design. Three copies of the report shall be submitted
along with drawings and models.
NOTE:
The design shall incorporate principles of barrier free environment.
At the time of Viva-voce examination, the student shall show to the jurors, the portfolio
containing the evolution of his/her design from the beginning to the final output. All the
drawings and reports shall be certified by the Head of the Department as bonafide work carried
out by the student during the semester.
