DC Architecture Trivandrum ‘s First-year studio of batch 2023

At DC Trivandrum, we firmly believe that design is a language that is inherent in each individual and need not be taught from scratch. Our pedagogy centers around the idea that the faculty’s role is not to teach design as a foreign language but to serve as guides who help students uncover their innate design sensibilities. We view design education as a process of creating paths that lead students to identify their values and to demonstrate ways to enrich these inherent traits, ultimately turning them into tangible realizations. In this context, our Basic design studios serve as dynamic spaces where students embark on a journey of self-discovery and creative growth. These studios are not mere venues for a handful of random exercises; instead, they are platforms for nurturing individual design talents and providing meaningful assessments of students’ progress.

As we provide a glimpse into DC Trivandrum’s First-year studio for the 2023 batch, it is clear that our approach to design education is distinct. It’s a place where the spark of creativity is ignited, and students are encouraged to explore and experiment with their unique design language. Our commitment to fostering a strong foundation in design principles ensures that each student’s journey is one of self-realization and growth, where they evolve into adept designers capable of making meaningful contributions to the world of design.
