Introduction to generative drawing

Ar. Karthik Dondetti

The term 'generative in design refers to an iteralive process of generating outputs based on pre-defined constraints and parameters. Students will lear the methods of writing instructions in the form of code that generate iterative graphics. They will explore the process of designing/authoring parametric relationships between simple geometrical forms and automate the process of generating the resulfants. This can inculcate a logical thinking towards defining systems of design and thinking and producing form.

Model Study - Thiruvanaikovil

A study on Thiruvanaikovil temple through model making with lighting and scale can provide a unique perspective on the architectural features of the temple. By creating a three-dimensional representation of the temple at a smaller scale, designers and architects can examine the intricate details and proportions of the temple in a way that is not possible with two-dimensional drawings or photographs. Adding lighting to the model can simulate the natural light conditions of the temple, allowing designers to evaluate the effectiveness of the temple’s lighting design. Additionally, changing the scale of the model can provide insights into the relationship between different elements of the temple and their overall impact on the visitor’s experience. Overall, a study of Thiruvanaikovil temple through model making with lighting and scale can provide valuable insights into the design and functionality of the temple and help inform future restoration and renovation efforts.

Wood Joinery Workshop

Documenting Ghat Structure

Ar. Maniarasan

Documenting heritage buildings is an important task that helps to preserve the historical, cultural, and architectural significance of these structures. Heritage buildings are often valuable landmarks that contribute to the identity and character of a community or region. Documenting them involves recording their history, architecture, and unique features through photographs, drawings, and written descriptions. As a part of the Architectural Drawing Course, the fundamental abstracts of Architectural representation namely plan, section, elevation were introduced through documentation and measured drawings of vennataragarai, heritage ghat structure on the banks of the Cauvery river.
