New design process in architecture will be explained in this elective with intermediate stages.
Comparison between conventional approach of architects’ style oriented process and Digital design
process will be introduced. A micro scale project will be taken as design problem to know the whole
process.
SESSIONAL WORK :
Theoretical aspect will lead to the formation of the content for written exams. Submission in the
