MATHEMATICS
Mathematics in architecture is basically a study of simple theories which will familiarize students with varying methods of calculations and prepare them to undertake any quantitative as well as analytical study in any subject during the duration of their undergraduate course.
SPECIFICATION AND ESTIMATION
The subject, Specification and Estimation, introduces the students to how costs for any project before and during construction are worked out as well as how variables such as labor, materials and equipments rates etc, impact these calculations and in turn project budget.
In addition students are also made aware of the process of Valuation of an already constructed building(s).
CONTRACT DOCUMENT & BYE LAWS-SEMESTER 7
Prior to proceeding for architectural internship, it is imperative that students acquire an understanding of Building byelaws, necessary submission drawings required for approval and related legal aspects.
The subject Contract document & Byelaws introduces students to legal terminologies and details such as labor laws, real estate act, building contracts, tenders and arbitration, and their importance for smooth project execution.
PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE & MANAGEMENT
Professional Practice & Management in Architecture is introduced to the students, in order to equip them with knowledge of the professional world and required skill sets to work in the field of architecture and construction, post their under-graduation. The subject allows them to acquire an understanding of the constitutional acts, ethics, commitments, responsibilities and techniques for effective project management.
SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE
The subject as introduced in ninth semester aims at enhancing and developing the relationship between the natural environment resources and architecture. The curriculum evaluates three key dimensions of sustainability, various concepts and principles. Furthermore, through case examples, methods are evaluated to achieve efficiency with respect to conscious material application, energy etc. Students will also be made aware of different national and international guidelines and rating systems in accordance to sustainable architecture.
DISASTER RESISTANT ARCHITECTURE
Given the recent increase in the frequency of disasters across the globe, it has become crucial even for architects to learn what can be done to resist and alleviate the impacts during the course as well in the
aftermath of such events.
The subject Disaster Resistant Architecture will thus introduce the students to the study of impacts,
mitigation measures and design solutions for built and open environment through management
policies, construction techniques and case studies for different natural and man-made disasters.
