Course Objectives:
After successful completion of this
course, student should be able to
1. Understand what is research in architecture and the
theoretical and practical significance of research in the
architectural profession.
2. To Understand types of research in architecture and the
process of formulating a research plan.
3. Understand various methods of research in
architecture, their relative advantages and
disadvantages and their applications.
4. Understand methods of data analysis and simple
statistical analysis and to interpret and infer from the
data.
5. Produce technical writing and presenting a research
report.
Studio:
SUGGESTED SESSIONAL WORK: A Class test based upon the units 1 and 2. Writing a review essay of about 1000
words on any one book / part of a book (chapter) related to architecture, read by the student. Undertaking research on
a topic (approved by the Subject Coordinator).
Topic for Research:
In the curriculum of the B.Arch. course, the intention is to relate the subject of Research Methodology to the
Architectural Project that the student intends to undertake.
It is therefore expected that the topic of research will enable the student to decide upon the subject which the student
intends to undertake in the “Architectural Project”. This will also help the student to extend the findings of the research
to the architectural design. In this manner, the effort for this subject would become focused, directional and relevant.
Coordination between “Research Methodology” and “Architectural Project” at the study center level is very much
required and an over view meeting with the students should be arranged at an appropriate time.
Depending upon the philosophy of a particular college, the study center may allow topics focusing upon a particular
area related to their mission statement, which may result in topics, which are unrelated to the Architectural Project.
