Scholars are required to develop an understanding of contemporary technological expressions and the use of modern materials such as glass, steel, aluminium and plastics. Explorations in geometry for the determination of form & structure using computers, is encouraged.

Image & its induction in buildings – Study of the architectural expressions that imbue a building with a certain image (posh, extravagant, luxurious, up market, down town, hi-tech, ethnic, contemporary etc).The relationship between a particular image and the materials & lighting should be established. Students have to understand the circulation patterns & services required in commercial buildings. Ex Shopping mall / Art gallery / marriage hall / memorial complex etc.

Technological expressions – This project intends to explore the possibility of image induction using expressions of technology for industrial buildings. Hence the functional aspects and the external form assume significance. Students are encouraged to explore architectural styles in vogue such as de-constructivism, Bauhaus ,post modern, hi-tech etc. Ex. Garment factory / watch factory / Electronic goods (computers, cellphones etc.) / Bicycle manufacturing unit etc.

Office buildings – Office spaces require special care in design & detailing. Students get exposed to the various services, structural systems and vertical access systems such as elevators, escalators etc of multi-storeyed buildings. Knowledge about various types of cores, fire fighting systems and special building rules applicable to multi-storeyed buildings are implied. Scholars will be required to do the Interior design scheme in detail. Ex. Multi-storeyed office buildings that do not exceed G+6 floors.
