Abstract :
Architecture is a creative ‘Art of
understanding’ as it reconciles the various aspects of place
and culture, aesthetics and techniques and different
materials. Architecture manages the beauty and
aesthetics on one hand and the utilitarian aspects on the
other. This balance requires a lot of creative exploration.
Basic design studio is a cradle in imbibing this
creative perspective in the new learner in architecture
education. This studio plays a formative role in molding
the students’ perception of architecture. The students not
only get hands on experience but inculcates the trait of
‘Creative Thinking’. Basic design subject gets the
students acquainted with not just architectural
vocabulary but the ‘Principles of design’ which forms the
basis of any design conception. The articulation of the
elements of design like lines, planes, solids in two-
dimensional and three-dimensional forms along with the
use of different mediums, materials, and techniques
through the principles of design aids them in the process
of thinking creatively.
The paper aims to understand and analyze the extent
of assimilation of ‘Creative thinking’ in Basic Design
studio (Subject code-102- Allied design studio) for 1st year,
semester- 2, B. Arch. students at Bharati Vidyapeeth
College of Architecture, Mumbai University for AY 2021-
22. The methodology adopted for the paper is based on
qualitative data elucidating the learnings in the studio
based on the development of the ‘Creative thinking’
attribute.
