Course Curriculum Overview
Housing design gives a great opportunity to create a significant impact on a larger scale. It is an exciting niche that falls between urban design and architecture, and it has a strong emphasis on sociocultural aspects of real estate and current needs. The course provides a unique opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of housing design which is likely to remain a significant aspect of architecture in the coming years. The program is structured such that every unit of 12 has a tutor and a teaching assistant. Additionally, the program Director is actively involved in all studios, providing much-needed guidance and support. All of the studio professors are practising architects with established practices in housing, bringing a wealth of practical and real-life experiences into the studio, and making it insightful. While there is a strong inclination towards academics, the studio remains academically engaging. It is worth noting that the marking is assignment or review based.
