S5 Interior Design

Suggested Literature Case Studies

As you’ll are travelling to different cities this weekend as part of AD studio, we have listed a few
buildings you could visit for your ID project. We’d encourage you to take initiative- research,
select case studies and make arrangements (permissions,etc) to visit preferred structures
without causing any disruption to the existing AD site visit plan. Feel free to explore more
available options based on your typology. In this list we have also included examples within
Ernakulam that you could visit over next weekend. Besides design, some examples will purely
be considered for its functional aspects. Sketches on personal observation on at least one live
case study will be expected.
