Course Objective:
Project Work is intended to provide opportunity for students to develop understanding of the
interrelationship between different courses learnt in the entire diploma programme and to apply
the knowledge gained from internships at the end of 5 th semester in a way that enables them to
develop & demonstrate higher order skills. The basic objective of a project class would be to
ignite the potential of students’ creative ability by enabling them to develop something which has
social relevance, aging, it should provide a taste of real life problem that a diploma-holder may
encounter as a professional. It will be appreciated if the polytechnics develop interaction with
local industry and local developmental agencies viz. different panchayet bodies, the
municipalities etc. for choosing topics of projects and / or for case study. The course further
includes preparation of a Project Report which, among other things, consists of technical
description of the project. The Report should be submitted in two copies, one to be retained in the
library of the institute. The Report needs to be prepared in computer using Word, CADD & 3D
software wherever necessary.

Curriculum for 6th semester Architecture w.e.f.2023 WBSCT&VE and SD Page 30

 GENERAL GUIDELINE
Project Work is conceived as a group work through which the spirit of team building is expected
to be developed. Students will be required to carry out their Project Works in groups under
supervision of a lecturer of their core discipline who will work as a Project Guide. It is expected
that most of the lecturers of the core discipline will act as project guide and each should supervise
the work of at least two groups. Number of students per group will vary with the number of
lecturers acting as Project Guide and student strength of that particular class.

Each group, under the guidance of a project guide, will select one topic and precaution should be
taken so that it does not become repetition of those undertaken under the subjects Architectural
Design & Drawings in each semester. While selection of the topic, care should be taken to see that
its scale remains well within the scope of the particular group of students. The choice of medium &
mode of presentation, the scale of drawing (s), and, the number of sheets are to be decided by the
students under the guidance of the project guide. The project work of 6th semester is the continuation
of the project work of 5 th semester. The final presentation drawings, Project report, model /3D view
will be submitted at the end of 6th semester.
