How to write Synopsis for a
Thesis Project
This article would be of great interest to the Final year
Architecture students. Writing a Synopsis determines your level
of understanding of the chosen topic as your thesis project. We
will list out and discuss different steps in which one should
proceed with writing a Synopsis.
Types of Architectural Research:
1
• Introduction
2
• Motivation
3
• Objectives and Scope and Limitations
4
• Description of the research work
5
• Conclusions/Summary of the work
6
• List of Case studies
7
• List of references/literature case studies for thesis research work
8
• Identification of the project site
Introduction
State precisely the questions for which the answers are sought through this
thesis work. Define the conceptual, analytical, experimental and/or
methodological boundaries within which the exercise will be carried out.
Admit with clarity the limitation of such a research and difficulties involved.
It should not exceed two pages.
Description of the research work
Highlight major conclusions you are working towards. Clearly bring out not
only the generally useful advantages arising out of the work but also the
architectural advancement you are seeking through this Thesis work. If there
are no conclusions at the moment, then enumerate the possible
contributions of the work.
Maximum two pages.
List of Case studies
List the probable Case Studies and the relevant areas of study possible in
them. Indicate clearly why you have chosen the particular case for study.
Make a mention of the ease/difficulty of approach and obtaining information
from the case studies. Also give the time frame required for each case study.
It should not exceed one page.
(Also, it is important to know all the factors to be considered for conducting
a successful case study.)
List of references/literature studies for thesis
research work
List the publications/books you have already identified for your literature
study. List only published or accepted books/papers.
Never claim contents of the publications/books as your own. Always give
credit where it is due.
Maximum one page.
Identification of Project site
The student has to identify a possible and suitable site for the proposal
where the conclusions and solutions can be carried out. The project site may
or may not be a live project but should definitely be suitable for the chosen
project.
Maximum one page.
