designing of physical structures, space planning, costing and new techniques
of production and presentation. This project emphasizes on demonstrating the
internalization of design studies. The student engages in intensive
information collection, analysis and formulation of the design problem.
Following this concept generation, detailing and design finalization with
suitability for manufacture will be worked out. In this process the student
will experience the specific challenges faced in design in the selected
subject area. Texts:
