ABSTRACT
Study of history helps to evolve an architectural insert in a Heritage Neighborhood, emphasizing history as a channel to creative thinking, with specialized research on precedents. An understanding of precedents can offer valuable insights to students about cultural, technological, aesthetic and philosophical parameters, measured during the conception of the building and the settlement. An Architectural Design Studio when pre-mediated with history makes the students aware about the heritage and physical parameters like geography, construction technology and socio-cultural parameters. Its objective is to initiate creativity through the analytical study and to provoke design. The paper illustratively demonstrates the methodology and output in the Architectural Design Studio, when influenced by the local history and context. It presents research based upon the students’ work of Second Year Design studio of Bharatiya Kala Prasarini Sabha’s College of Architecture (BKPS COA) and the relationship between history and design.
