The studio VIII is the first instance where the students encounter the city and respond to it.

The studio is an attempt at urban transformation by student projects where in the students are expected to take informed decisions and understand how their decisions impact lives of people.

The students will work towards enriching the urban environment through their designs.

The studio will be conducted in three components.

2.

An intensive period of seven weeks will have the students plugging into one site along with students from RPI, U.S. In this part, the different cultural factors are expected to play up and the decision making is to be about team work rather than individual.
