J. of Design Research (JDR), Vol. 9, No. 4, 2011

Abstract: This paper is an attempt to document an experimental approach to studio design project at level 3 of architecture education. Experiential learning, especially at lower levels, helps in analysing, synthesising, and evaluating the design scientifically and logically. The studio project is of 'multiple dwelling' and the thrust is on the climatic sensitivity. Sun and wind studies have been carried out at unit, cluster and layout levels. This studio exercise aimed at generating a stimulus amongst pupils for the climatic issues and integration of climatology as a subject into the design studio. Sundial and the wind stimulator have been the tools used for arriving at design decisions.
