Introduction
Knowledge with Wisdom is the motto of CEPT University. Research as a method of inquiry has always been one of the cornerstones of this institution. Not only does it encourage a broadening of horizons and inquisitiveness towards learning as an individual; it also fosters the creation of knowledge at the institutional level. Research at the Faculty of Architecture endeavours to build a repository of knowledge and in conjunction with the focus on design and learning by doing, attempts to create wisdom. The research thesis, instituted in 1962, is a unique requirement at the Faculty of Architecture. The goal of the thesis is to encourage development of scholarship to study the theory and practice of architecture. With the guidance of faculty members and supervisors, students focus solely on their research in the 10th semester of their studies. The resulting study is examined by the thesis committee, an independent external examiner, and a final viva voce. This ensures that the work produced is of a quality expected from an undergraduate student. Over the years, the thesis programme has produced a good amount of valuable work that includes a primary database through detailed documentation and analysis of a large number of varied built environments in India. It is hoped that the current emphasis on focusing on India will help build up a strong platform for discourses on architecture specific to Asia. As a larger benefit of this programme, mention may be made of the fact that our alumni are prominent among those involved in creditable academic and research work here and abroad with distinguished teaching careers and research based publications. This booklet presents an overview of the theses undertaken in the past fifty years at the Faculty of Architecture. A need to categorize these theses arose in order to put in perspective the vast body of information that they contained. There are eleven categories into which these theses have been classified based on their topics of study. The categories are broadly based on scales- urban and settlement studies, building and building types, and architectural elements; specializations- planning, landscape, conservation, environmental sciences; and various aspects of architecture- history and theory, design norms, architectural appreciation, socio cultural aspects and technology.
FA Booklet Series . RESEARCH . Thesis Overview 1962 - 2012 . 1
A representative sample of theses in each of these categories presents the range of studies undertaken in the past five decades. Each sample contains the table of contents that depicts structure and chapterization, drawings that give a glimpse of the nature of the content especially showing interesting forms of representation or methods of analysis, and an abstract where available. All the thousand odd theses have been classified and presented at the end of this booklet. This booklet gives an exhaustive summary of the research directions of the Faculty of Architecture and can be an invaluable resource to anyone interested in referring to them further.
Building Type : Instituition, Houseform and others
The theses in this group analyse architecture through the lens of building types and by locating them in the context of culture, technology, expression and religion.
The range of building types include temple complexes, havelis, traditional houseforms, colonial building types, monasteries, mosques, palaces, forts, etc. The conclusions made by these studies allow us to trace patterns of growth in building types along with inferences about the lifestyle and culture.

Landscape Architecture and Recreation
The theses cover specific landscape elements and recreational aspects that have some relevance to landscape planning and architecture. The elements that are covered are with respect to specific situations and locations. They focus on the relationship of nature and landscape with the building environments; they also look at the attitudes to landscape in different cultural milieu. The inferences fom such studies demonstrate how forces of nature - topography, geographical features, flow etc shape culture and the built environment.

Architectural History and Theory
The theses cover some historical aspects of architectural forms and construction over time and space. Some of the theses examine materials of construction, structural systems employed and systems of proportioning used in chosen studies. They also attempt to examine the validity of the hypothesis pertaining to the architectural design principles under a context of a situation. Various aspects of architectural history and theory ranging from proportion, form and architecture, eclectics in architecture, design approaches and attitudes, primary form, rituals, intentions, architectural education, expressions and interpretation, theory and perception as well as concepts and processes are explored in these studies.

Understanding of the city : a human construct, as a process in time

Durganand Balsavar Year: 1991 Guide: Kurula Varkey Contents: Introduction Summary: In the preceding understanding of the nature of the urban settlement, as a continuum, and the subsequent study of the city of Ahmedabad, certain pertinent themes emerge.Here, is envisaged a specific discussion on the nature of the process of the city in consonance with the dimensions that have emerged over the course of the inquiry, through an examination of the various cities and the events that have characterized them.Two basic considerations need be made at this juncture;Recognized, in terms of status, the urban settlement is evocative of its internal relationships and universal nature as an institution of collective dwelling, its reason for being reflecting an outlook of a culture at a point in time. It understands the consecration of the city and the attitudes governing the inception of tits new parts. Recognized, as a process, the reason for being of the urban settlement reflects its capacity to integrate and synthesize, and a continual crystallization of diverse conditions over time. It specifically comprehends the relationships of its different moments, both spatially and temporally. However, in the recognition of these relationships, two distinct, yet, inextricably related concepts emerge that characterizes the process of the city.Firstly, an examination of the relationships between its constituent parts characterizing different moments of inception and the subsequent identification of elements of continuity and change.Secondly, the process of remodeling of the existent built condition of the city and subsequent change. Change, in the context of the study, is examined in apposition to elements in the city that have physically endured or persisted in the urban dynamic. The overall phenomenon is identified in terms of the attributes of permanence and change. The appraisal of the city as a continual process is undertaken in consonance with these two dimensions in an endeavor to recognize the various conditions that characterize the city over time.

THESIS OVERVIEW, 1962 - 2012
The Faculty of Architecture, CEPT University is celebrating its Golden Jubilee this year. Over the past 50 years the school has been home to a host of students and teachers, providing the setting for germinating ideas that have borne fruit both within the campus and in the world around. The booklet series provides an opportunity to tell this story not only to put the past in perspective but also to chart an informed road to the future. Any recollection of history is partial and can never do justice to the plethora of issues worth publishing. The booklet format allows the possibility of covering diverse issues like teaching and learning methods, ideals and ideologies, student works, institutional culture and contributions to society. The booklet format also allows us to look into the future by adding to and commenting on previous booklets.
SA50
Celebrating 50 years of School of Architecture, CEPT.
These booklets might appear small and simple but are made possible only through hours of hard work and inputs from a very wide range of people. The students of the Faculty of Architecture have worked on these booklets with a spirit and enthusiasm that are the hallmark of this institution. It was also heartening to see the alumni spending hours with these students without which we couldnt have talked of the early years of the school. The past and present visiting and core faculty members also deserve special mention for taking the effort to provide material for this endeavour.
The first part of this series focuses on five themes- Pedagogy, Research, Outreach, the Related Study Programme (RSP), and Campus History. Teaching and learning methods are addressed under the pedagogy theme whereas the research theme focuses on the research thesis programme in the tenth semester. The school has always been concerned about its connections with society at large and this is highlighted in the outreach and RSP booklets. The campus history series charts the long and colourful history of the campus and its people. Research has always been one of the core concerns at the Faculty of Architecture. This is highlighted by the inclusion of the research thesis as part of the curriculum in the undergraduate programme. Booklets in this series will cover work done by students as part of this programme and other research works initiated by the faculty members and the students.
