MastersProgramme in Sustainable Architecture

1

1. Preamble: Buildings consume vast amounts of resources during their construction, operationand entire life cycle. Directly or indirectly, they account for nearly half of the primary energyconsumption of the nation. Emissions from making or operating buildings damage the environment,

create waste disposal problems and add to global warming. Buildings occupants can face ill-health anddiscomfort if the internal environment and air quality of buildings is improper.

Thus designing sustainable built environment both in rural as well as urban context is important to provide good quality of life to inhabitants and to protect earths environment. Architecture education inIndia, especially at undergraduate level has very little emphasis to integrate technical, economic, socialand environmental aspects to design sustainable built environment.

This Masters programme aims to train Architects to understand issues associated with SustainableArchitecture, including environmental concerns, assessment methods, energy consumption, construction

materials, health, economic and social concerns, and management of buildings and other construction projects in a life-cycle perspective. This programme encompasses residential, commercial and publicarchitecture and planning of sites and layouts as well as their effect on the urban and rural builtenvironment.

The programme structure follows a multidisciplinary approach integrating technology, architecture,engineering, physical sciences, ecology, management and legal framework. The course follows a modular approach offering adequate flexibility to learners to choose from a basket of courses according to their career interests.

2 . Aim: The programme aims to produce Architects who are competent enough to combinearchitectural design and planning principles with modern technology and traditional community wisdomto design a sustainable project and manage implementation of such projects.

The course is highly relevant for Architects who want to pursue a professional career in Architectural andPlanning practice, or in construction industry, or in the field of rural and urban development or academicsand multidisciplinary research or at policy making levels in government and other organizations.

3. Duration: 4 Semesters (2 years). This is a two year full time programme divided into four consecutive semesters of 18 weeks each including 2 weeks for exams. The first three semesters will be

blend of theory and project courses and the fourth semester will be equip the participants with managerial

knowledge skills for managing sustainable projects as they prepare a Masters design thesis. Additionalcourses can be taken during summer / winter breaks.

4 . E ligibility: Bachelors Degree in Architecture or equivalent as recognized by Council of Architecturewith minimum 50% marks or equivalent grades.

5. Admission: Entrance Examination to be conducted on all-India basis.

6 . Programme Structure and Courses offered:

The programme will lead to degree - M. Arch. Sustainable Architecture .

Semester 1: The first semester willprovide an insight into the awareness and culture on which

sustainability is based, presenting the different contexts in which it can be applied. Theory courses willcover building physics, environmental management, ecology, and concepts and strategies related todesign of energy efficient, sustainable and zero emission built environment. Historical perspectives willexpose students to traditional wisdom and passive building design strategies besides retracing history of traditional architecture and settlement planning principles that were in harmony with nature. Design

project course will lay emphasis of climate and built form and applying traditional community wisdom toachieve sustainable architecture.

Semester 2: Theory courses in this semester will cover Water and Waste management, Energy systemsand services and their integration in architectural design, and Sustainable building materials andtechnology and Sustainable neighborhood design. The design project course will lay emphasis onapplication of modern technologies and integrated renewable energy systems to design energy efficient

buildings. Elective courses will allow students to pursue their subject interests. During this semester students will finalize their topics for dissertation and masters design thesis and work during summers on a

project / research that enables them to gather knowledge and skills required to accomplish their dissertation and thesis work with ease.

Semester 3: In this semester students will be exposed to legal and policy issues concerning green buildings, environmental impact assessment of projects. Relationship between economics and sustainabledevelopment will be explored. Elective courses will allow students to choose their thrust area. Design

project will essentially consist of sustainable design of a large campus with focus on site ecology, water management, landscaping and biodiversity, conservation of natural resources and conservation of naturaland built heritage of the region. In this semester students will also write a dissertation. Summer projectwork will be evaluated in this semester though formal presentations.

Semester 4: In the fourth and final semester students will work on a large scale project as a Master design thesis. An theory course on Project Management for Sustainable Architecture will build studentscapacity to face the professional challenges as they pursue their career. Additional elective course willhelp them strengthen their knowledge base in desired track.

Course SA1 ( Prepared by Prof. Neeraj Gupta)Introduction to Sustainable Development and Architecture3 Credits L -S-T: 3-0-0

Broad Objectives and Outline

As governments and societies are becoming more environmentally conscious, architects and plannersare beginning to have greater concern about the built environment and its long term viability. Giventhe need for conserving natural resources and to save environment, expectations from professionalshave increased manifold. Sustainability is, thus a critical concept and direction for the futurearchitects and planners.

However, quite often, sustainable architecture practice is guided by architects who have not beenformally trained in environment and sustainable development. With this background, this course aimsto impart an understanding of issues related to sustainable development, especially in Indian context,that have implications on design of buildings and neighborhoods. The course will familiarize students

with current perspectives related to sustainability in built environment and help them analyzechallenges and opportunities for sustainable architecture.

This course offers a general review of concepts and principles of sustainable development and presents the idea of sustainability as a paradigm change in the architectural design field. It gives a preview to the practices, strategies and implementation processes that shape sustainable architecture.

Course SA5Sustainable Architecture Historical and Community Perspectives ( prepared by Prof. NeerajGupta)3 Credits L -S-T: 3-0-0


The architecture of 20th century in India, barring few exceptional cases widely adopted forms, stylesand patterns seen in western architecture. Contemporary architecture in India relies on hi-techs in

building materials and engineering technologies that often waste energy, and cause physical and psychological harm in varying degrees to the human beings.

O n the contrary compared to modern society, ancient people were more aware of ecologicalimportance and had greater reverence to nature. Ancient buildings were based on natural laws anddepend on natural forces in order to adapt to bad survival environments and improve survivalconditions. Thus traditional community wisdom can provide us with rich and valuable technologicalexperiences that can be good reference point for modern day architecture.

This course offers a general review of concepts and principles of vernacular, and historicalarchitecture that provide unique insights on sustainable development and can help in understandingthe practices, strategies and implementation processes that shape sustainable architecture. The coursewill cover examples largely from Indian context and would draw reference from traditionalcommunity wisdom from India and other parts of the world.

Given the rapid and haphazard growth of towns and cities and associated problems of environment itis important to understand the macro and micro issues that connect environment and built humanhabitat. This course looks at relationship of built environment with overall environment. O ur ancienttraditional wisdom has been able to create a built environment that was responsive to climatic andother local conditions and also aesthetically pleasant. Most of the human habitat that one comesacross in villages is built on sustainable design principles. Thus this course looks at strategies thathave been in use since historical times to create sustainable neighborhoods. At the same time it looksat how modern technology can be used to achieve goals of sustainable development.

This course will thus look at vernacular as well as modern urban design strategies that can mitigatethe negative impacts of urban climate. In this course urban heat island effect and ways to overcome its

impact will be covered. The course will also delve into resource efficiency in terms of water, wasteand materials at micro and macro level. Site planning strategies and urban design issues covered inthis course will be simultaneously put to practice in the studio classes covering a Sustainable Urbandesign project.
