Evaluation form for guide

Final stage submission of M.Arch thesis for internal assessment is due. Due to poor performance of
students in the previous stages, it has been decided by coordinator to review those stages from

3. Methodology
4. Scope
5. Limitations
2 1. Site Analysis
All relevant location & zonal plans with detailed site
plan
On site considerations:
Dimensions, area, shape, orientation – plan and north
position, Contours and levels, Soil condition – bearing
capacity and its implications, Existing services in and
around site, Existing trees, buildings, other features,
condition and type of trees, Existing landmarks and
views (from site and towards site), Zoning and Building
Bye laws – land use, F.A.R., G.F.C overage, Set back
lines, Building
byelaws
Off-site considerations:
Access, surrounding road network – major, secondary,
service roads ,raffic movement – volumes and
destinations, traffic rotaries ,Nalas, streams and water-
bodies, Surrounding landscape, views and landmarks,
Architectural environs,Local Building Materials, building
technology – vernacular const. methods

objectives and concept of Design, Development of the
plan and form, Function definition and Usage index of
various spaces, Function distribution – horizontally and
vertically, Area distribution – bubble diagrams,
