To understand the application of Theory of Structures (TOS) in the syllabus of architecture, a demonstrative, hands-on or graphical method would be more appropriate. Hence we started TOS studios at Rizvi College of Architecture, Mumbai in 2010. After a couple years of trials and varied projects being undertaken we realized that not only the student’s under- standing improved but also their interest was rekindled in the subject. This article shares the various projects undertaken during TOS studio. The read- er is encouraged to try them, share feedback and hence together we nurture the value of TOS in Architecture.
