Course Introduction

Analytical study of past architectural antecedents will aid in acquainting students‟ with our architectural heritage and arousing interest in postulating architectural solutions that are responsive to the built environment of this civilization. Ultimately, students must understand that the building materials available and the technology developed to utilize them through different civilizations largely determine the nature of the architecture of that civilization.The second part of the course will expose the students to the history and development of planning, its relevance & application to modern day principles of town planning
