PHENOMENOLOGY OF DETAILS

 The focus of this course is three fold- first to develop in students an ability in systems-thinking (for example building as a system of the grid, or water supply system; etc..); second to develop an ability in them for detailing (detailing here is the act of putting together different materials and their assemblies in a manner that is conceptually coherent with the overall idea of the building); and third, to develop an ability to make working drawings that could be used for the construction of buildings. The course will train students in design thinking where the logics of spatiality are based on systems and details along with orienting them in issues around construction documentation and management. Successful completion of this course shall ensure that the student is ready to participate in a building making project as an architect.
