(4 year program equips students with comprehensive knowledge to practice)
It intends to offer quality, innovative, short-term academic and non-academic courses.
Academic Calendar
The Construction Lab at SMEF’s Brick School of Architecture believes in instilling learning of basic principles & theories of construction, developing the ability to research, innovate and adapt to the ongoing technological changes at the global level.
Emphasis on understanding the appropriate structural system for sustainable construction and performance efficiency for the given typology remains the constant through the five years of academics. The focus also is to understand the architectural & constructional detailing that adds to the functional & aesthetical value to the structure. Developing a research-based attitude, and encouraging hands-on workshops enhances the artistic skills, intellectual abilities and creative instincts in the students. Exposure to the knowledge of advanced technology and equipments, innovations in material specification and operational systems of building components is the pedagogy adopted at Brick.
Subjects to include Building technology and Materials, Theory of structures, Surveying and Leveling, Building Services, Advanced Building Technologies and Materials, Quantity Surveying and Estimation, Specification writing, and Technology elective taught under the banner of the Construction lab aims to nurture them as trained professional architects whose design solutions would contribute to the quality of the built environment.
RETROSPECT HUMAN BEHAVIOUR, PSYCHOLOGY, HISTORIC CONTEXT, ADVANCED TECHNIQUES AND ITS RELEVANCE IN EMERGING ARCHITECTURAL DEVELOPMENTS
Thinking Lab looks for a methodic approach towards design, to develop creative ability and opening up minds to formulating various ways to explore new ideas responding to human behavior, the psychology of user and its reflection on society. Look into an in-depth study of context, to understand the history, society and its manifestation in intangible-tangible ways to connect with changing trends and its relevance in future developments. Pertaining knowledge for the vast canvas of designing smaller elements to bigger scales to serve a solo being and the communities. To be multifaceted sensitive designer its essential to know the edifying role of art forms, varied cultures, traditions and civilizations evolved over time and its relevance in today’s context. Thinking lab facilitates, inculcating research component, as an implicit aspect of design at the undergraduate level. It will encourage future designers to approach towards more environment-friendly designs taking cognizance of where they are designing and for whom, in a more social and sensitive way with a human-centric approach.
Architecture education pivots around Design conceptualization, development and detailing. Design laboratory at Brick offers the opportunity to explore out of the box concepts, test new ideas and discourses that respond to today’s context as well as the future.
Integrated design approach which builds on integrating humanities, science, and engineering, art and psychology and explore themes such as sustainability, affordability, health, and well-being have experimented during the course of five years of architectural education.
Even though the syllabus prescribed by University breaks down the holistic learning objective into varied courses, at Brick, the courses that have an objective to enhance Design capabilities are grouped under “Design Lab”
Architecture as a professional has the power to make a difference to society. The “Schools Vision” to create socially responsible architects is the common thread across the years.
