Description: Both natural and man-made forms evolve around the principles of balance, stability, and efficiency. By studying these, designers, architects, and engineers gain an intuitive sense of “what will stand” and “what will fail.” The study of structural sense, through the exploration of natural and man-made forms, is essential for developing an integrated understanding of design, stability, and efficiency.This interdisciplinary course introduces students to the structural logic of both natural and human-made forms. Emphasizing observation and intuition, the course explores how structure, form, and function are interrelated in nature and how these principles inspire architectural and design solutions. By comparing natural organisms, geological structures, and engineered constructions, learners develop a deeper appreciation of form-finding processes and structural efficiency in both domains.Thus clearly speaking this course covers the structure of natural and man-made forms, fosters an intuitive understanding of structural behavior, and explores the relationships between natural and human-made systems Exploring natural and man-made forms sharpens our structural sense—an intuitive and analytical understanding of how shapes carry forces, achieve stability, and embody efficiency. This is crucial for creating safe, innovative, sustainable, and aesthetically meaningful designs. Various  hands-on activities have also  being added in this course. These  activities  willEncourage observation of structural logic in everyday objectsHelp us understand Load applied on a simple structure (e.g., beam or arch), Force distribution and Resistance zonesIdentify features of balance, adaptation, and growth in natural formsHelp Learn about The history of structural systemsBy the end of the course, learners will:
