MH4211 Sustainable Design Studio Syllabus:
MH4211 Sustainable Design Studio Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021
OBJECTIVES
To enable the incorporation of sustainability in architectural design at various scales.
To help balance varied technical and planning considerations in building design with aspects of sustainability.
CONTENT
The studio will focus on the challenges of incorporating sustainable principles into architectural design projects and typologies of increased complexity that are prevalent in the contemporary world. Aspects of climatic response, resilience, planning, technology, services, density, height of construction, management, etc., would be examined along with considerations such as environmental performance, resource optimisation, ecological impact in order to produce a viable synthesis of diverging needs.
In study and overall design stage, focus would be on studying macro and micro level issues and coming up with design propositions and strategies. This may include policy, master plan, building design as the case may be based on the project.
In the detailed design stage, the aim is to freeze on the propositions and then develop a part of it to completion in all aspects. The outcome will be a workable solution to a part of a building project if the project is large or the entire building if the project is small. It could range from building envelope design to developing prototypical solutions.
TOTAL: 150 PERIODS
COURSE OUTCOMES
CO1 An ability to balance human needs with environmental concerns in architectural design.
CO2 Skill in executing a small part of a broader idea into a workable solution.
