Course Overview:

There is a renewed interest in ancient Indian knowledge across the globe in the changing time. So, it is natural that we will tweak our syllabus to include Vastu in architecture and Interior Design classes. The term Vastu Shastra is derived from Sanskrit manuals of architecture which means knowledge of dwelling or foundation of a house. This Vastu

Shastra is similar to the Chinese Feng Shui, essentially focusing on harmonizing human life with its surroundings.

With the advent of green technology, green lifestyle, and affordable environmental materials, there is a growing focus on green living and hence on understanding vastu across the world. Vastu as a science form uses the interrelation between ecology, passive energy and living beings.

Each student is expected to prepare a synopsis of design thesis based on the preliminary work undertaken in the Interior design studio under an approved guide. Thesis should reflect the knowledge gained from all the courses undertaken by the student in all the previous semesters. The particulars of the schedule, content, presentation, format etc. is to be decided by the department from time to time and shall be strictly followed.

DISSERTATIONCourse Overview:This module introduces with a aim to give the students an opportunity to conduct design research and come out with a paper on the subject of investigation


01

The research seminar involves student researching in an area related to design leading to final thesis topic and is expected to produce new insights on the topic. This will involve in-depth analysis of an area that is of interest to design. The work may involve primary and secondary research, framing research questions, creative exploration of alternatives, choosing a suitable methodology for analysis, experimental set-ups and methodical documentation. The students are encouraged to make use of research methods for documentation, analysis and experimentation. Use of photography, sketching, audio, video for research documentation purposes. The documented material is analyzed for inferences and insights. Students are expected to explore new fields, materials and media, with a focus on analysis. Students need to choose a topic in consultation with a faculty member and work under faculty guidance.

02The outcome is expected to be an insightful report or paper on the chosen subject along with a seminar presentation. The students are encouraged to publish this as a paper in a design journal or present this as a paper in a conference. This Research will lead to final thesis.

DESIGN THESISCourse Overview:Thesis should reflect the knowledge gained from all the courses undertaken by the student in all the previous semesters. To develop assimilation, synthesis and application of research in Interior Design. Expected Skills / Knowledge Transferred: Student should be in a position to comprehend the design philosophy, theories, data analysis and application in a chosen area of study


01

This is the Phase II of the research thesis (This is a continuation of the project from the previous semester.) converting it in to design project involves creative visualization and innovation, concept refinement, The final design is presented with suitable documentation of the complete process with conclusions and an executive summary in the form of a report that includes the complete project process, concepts and final design proposal

02The students need to publish this as a paper in a design journal or present this as a paper in a conference. Design Tasks: The outcome is the final research outcome along with the documentation of the design research process in form of a report along with a seminar presentation. Detailing of the final design proposal including making of final models / prototypes in appropriate format / medium that best communicate the design. The work will have to be defended in an open viva. A panel of examiners appointed by department does the evaluation of the Project – part II.
