3) Cultural History

Cultural and historical context of a problem is one of the inputs to be considered in order to arrive at a workable solution. A normal freshman student out of the Ontario high school system, like others in North America, has scarcely been released from his immediate cultural context. There is no intellectual discipline to illuminate the organic view of culture and to realize the interrelationship of human activities. A useful course should awaken a student to other cultural contexts introducing free movement among a number of traditions bequeathed to us by both past and present. The study will be broken down into six phases.

Studio B

The idea of a studio is one of involvement of analysis and synthesis in the total physical environment that is related to the shelter of man; an awareness of the main inherent physical characteristics and limitations of media and material. The objectives of the studio are.

1) to guide the student in observing aspects of the environment; to find, categorize and associate the information into fundamental structures or patterns of relationship. 2) to apply theories generated in the lecture courses to situations in the physical environment. This will be implemented by categorizing the courses into three: a) behaviour of materials and structures b) behaviour of man c) communications 3) to establish a relationship between faculty members and students where all faculty members are considered as consultants to the students. 4) to provide a vehicle for faculty members from different disciplines to converse in open discussion with the student group on the same problem from their own point of view. 5) to make the students aware of the different “techniques” that can assist them in analysis and synthesis in problems of the physical environment.

To observe particular aspects of this relationship that can be defined as patterns of interaction. To explore modelling techniques used to understand the interaction. To experience an operational game on a city or community. The studios are taught in sequential order for the B.E.S. programme during the first six study terms.

B.Arch. Programme

These can be selected from any course given by the University which is relevant to the students’ academic pursuit. The object of these courses will be based on a better orientation and dedication towards a more meaningful profession. The inherent problems and solutions of man-made environmental structure do interact with architecture and planning, man and his environment. Hence a study of such courses is to achieve interdisciplinary environmental communication giving rise to meaningful parametric design and planning.

Course provides knowledge and understanding about constructional details, materials and their workability, constructional techniques and systems.

The studio is an involvement of analysis and synthesis in the total process of architectural design. The concept of a studio is to guide the students in their observation of environmental aspects, structures of relationships and application of theories to achieve architectural design and correlation. Maximum effort will be spent in the studio. The studio work will be spread over all the five terms—term 7, 8, work term, term 9 and term 10. In term 7 a student will apply himself on architectural design and correlation. A thesis project will be chosen with the approval of the faculty advisor and a thesis programme will be written up in term 8. All the research work regarding the thesis is to be finished during the work term. The work place is to be arranged such that the work

pursude can be compatible and integrated with the nature of the thesis project. Term 9 will be spent on a thesis design. In term 10 a student will be required to analyse his thesis design, perhaps by computer, and evaluate its validity and success as a solution for the established needs and constraints of his project prior to obtaining his degree of Bachelor of Architecture.

A sophisticated approach to Architectural Design. This incorporates systems and computer-aided design and analysis. Design parameters, their definitions and evaluation, data and their handling capacities and related design procedures are scientific ways of approach to modern design. The introduction and application of computer systems can potentially execute more effectively and creatively at least 90% of what has up to now been the exclusive endeavour of the architects. This calls for the systems design and analysis concurrently.

Historical developments of the discipline of planning; current trends in the philosophy and methodology.

Study provides a background of the development of contemporary architecture. Architecture essentially is of the society, for the society and by the society. The course enlightens the relationship of Architecture to development and evolution of society and cultural aspects. A background of the dependency of Architecture on period and vice versa is established for better understanding of architectural design process.
