Hello students, I am Saptarshi Kolay, I am
an assistant professor of Architecture and
Planning department IIT Roorkee.
I am offering a course on Contemporary Architecture
and Design, so generally we study contemporary
architecture or contemporary design, but in
this course we will study contemporary architecture
as well as design holistically.
So in discuss about the paradigm of the architecture
and as well as the design and it will also
be supported with the contemporary art movements.
So these different domains will be discussed
simultaneously, and because there is overlapping
part in architecture design and art movement.
So while discussing we will not go deep into
the architectural movements, structural parts
or the construction tools and techniques,
we will discuss on the visual language.
So we will focus on the accessary part of
the architecture and what are the supporting
design and art movement which was going parallely.
So while talking about contemporary, we start
with the post Industrial Revolution, which
was around 1920s onwards, so we will discuss
the contemporary architecture and which will
be divided on the modern part which is the
first part of contemporary and as well as
the postmodern movements which came later
after modern movements.
And we will go timeline wise which we will
discuss the movements and the how movements
are emerging as a reaction against the previous
movement.
So that is how the timeline wise we will discuss
this paradigm of architecture design and art
movement and how holistically they were combined
together.
And before discussing contemporary architecture,
we will also give few lectures on what was
the history part of architecture and design
movement, so we will go from the classical
architecture and renaissance architecture
and design, and how this was continuity.
And there was continuum throughout this moment
which came from started from classical architecture
and till now.
And while discussing the visual part will
be more and also we will discuss the architecture
first and the parallel movements in design.
So the major part of this discussions and
lectures will be on architecture, and we will
be supporting that with the design moment
and what was going parallely in the art and
design moment.
So talking about the structure of this course,
it is 2-month long course which is spreaded
across 8 weeks, and after completion of each
and every week there will be an assignment
floated for the students, which you will be
checked online.
And if anybody wants certification, they can
appear for an exam after the completion of
the course, and the certificate will be given.
And I hope you will join the course, thank
you.
