Introduction to Program: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Bachelor's Degree Program in Architecture, affiliated to the Christ University, is a five-year program approved by the Council of Architecture New Delhi. The Programme has two components, Studio, and Theory. The theory encompasses the current theoretical positions on Architecture, understanding historical precedents of the built environment in India and across the world, Building Sciences and Technology. Studio courses address the issues of methods in the documentation, analysis, and interpretations and design process of physical environments. The studio cycle is aimed at developing design language, tools, and skills to design sustainable built environments. The programme entails Practical training of one semester with a registered practicing architect. The Programme thus intends to render a holistic understanding of Architecture. The Board of Studies members include acclaimed academicians and leading architects; Prof Neelkant Chhaya, Former Dean of Faculty of Architecture, CEPT University; Ar. Prem Chandavarkar, Managing partner of CnT Architects. A. ADMISSION Admission to the Bachelor of Architecture to all the candidates who have passed the Qualifying Examination of an examination at the end of the 10+2 scheme of examination of Central/State Govts with at least 50% aggregate marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics and also 50% marks in aggregate of the 10+2 level examination or passed 10+3 Diploma Examination with mathematics as compulsory subject with at least 50% marks in aggregate. And have passed the Aptitude Test with a qualified NATA score for the aptitude test conducted by the Council of Architecture OR Qualified JEE Mains Paper-II Aptitude Test in Architecture B. DURATION The Architecture course shall be of minimum duration of 5 years or 10 semesters of approximately 16 working weeks each inclusive of six months or one semester of approximately 16 working weeks of Practical training in semester IX in a professional office under a COA Registered Architect, complying to the Council of Architecture Gazetted Rules 2020. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

CIA 1 and 3 for Theory courses shall be conducted by the respective faculty in the form of different types of assignments. Students need to complete the assignments within the stipulated time for the award of marks. 3. CIA 2 for Theory courses shall be conducted in the form of Mid Semester Examination. 4. A minimum of 50% in the CIA is required to appear for the End Semester Examination (ESE) of a particular course The breakup of CIA marks for theory courses is given below . CIA 1- 10 marks; CIA 2 - 15 marks (conducted out of 50 marks and converted to out of 15 marks ); CIA 3 - 20 marks; Attendance -5 Marks 5 marks for attendance is distributed as follows
c. END SEMESTER EXAMINATION (ESE): 50% 1. End semester examinations shall be conducted for all courses. 2.

Examination And Assesments | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The B Arch Programme offers theory and studio courses. The theory courses conduct periodical Continuous Internal Assessments (CIA) which includes tests, assignments, and attendance to evaluate the students' progress. Each course would culminate with an End Semester Examination (ESE) conducted centrally by the University. The Studio courses are continuously evaluated through reviews, assignments, and time problems, which accumulate as CIA marks. The ESE will be conducted through Viva-voce reviewed and marked by an external examiner. |

Course Objectives/Course Description |

Course Description The course opens to four units which in overall develops the ability to appreciate architecture and compare various styles. It is an exploration of 20th century architecture - International and Indian of different time periods. The Unit 1 is covering on Modernism, International style Alternate modernism, Post modernism & Deconstruction theories, giving an oppurtunity to understand the connections between built environment and the social, political, religious, technological and environmental circumstances which shaped the modern architecture. The learning in Unit 1 can be used in Unit 2, as the influences of International architects are reflected in India. Further in unit 3 the contemporary architectural styles are introduced followed by alternate theoretical positions in architecture which will determine the future practices in architecture. The learning involves tuning the eyes to see examples from each style and developing the ability to critically think and interpret it. Since the scope of the topic doesnt limit to a single region or a time period and as the impact of the topics discussed in the course has influenced differents parts of the world, major examples along with corresponding context are familiarized to students. The course can be started with an art exploration of different styles from renaissance to destijl, as the concept of a search for new style has impacted all forms of art, and the trace from 2Dimensional depictions to the relevance of materiality and form, contributing to 3 deminsional functional designs giving impact on architecture can be looked at. Course Objectives:
