Full Unit-wise Syllabus

Unit I – Understanding Architectural /Building Drawings

Understanding comprehensive set of drawings for any live building project, interpreting them and presenting their characteristics through seminars/ assignments. The drawings to be studied should include working drawings from macro to micro scale-interior plans, staircase details, kitchen and toilet detail of joinery, etc., structural drawings and service drawings to include electrical, plumbing, mechanical and HVAC details.

Unit II – Schematic Design Integrating Structures &Services

Evolving a schematic design, balancing different technical considerations including appropriate structural, plumbing, electrical, mechanical and HVAC systems. Working out schematics for small to medium projects. Typology -residences (studio 3 project).

Unit III – Interior Working Drawings

Preparation of working drawings for the resolved schematic design. Drawings to include, detailed drawings of specific areas like bedrooms, staircases and wall sections, dimensions explaining the various components, joinery schedule. Design and preparation of layouts of service intensive rooms like kitchens and toilets.

Unit IV – Detailed Drawings of Interior Components

Design and preparation of detailed drawings of joinery including doors, windows and ventilators. Design and detailing: floor, wall and ceiling finishes/ construction details. Design and preparation of detailed drawings of built in furniture and components: counters, cabinets, wardrobes, storage, fittings and fixtures, display units, workstation etc.
