About the Programme

The Bachelors of Architecture programme is known for its rigorous and interdisciplinary approach to professional education. The programme uniquely engages global practices through a foundation in making and conceptual thinking. The close community of talented dedicated students and faculty work together to push the boundaries of the discipline.

The fully accredited B. Arch programme is a 5 year professional course dedicated to prepare students from diverse disciplines and background for careers in architecture. The faculty has developed a highly structured and intensive curriculum where the design studio is the focal point of each semester. They learn to communicate ideas through models, drawings working fluidly and seamlessly between all models of both analog and digital representation. The studio aims at developing specific skill sets required for any child to make a progression towards further years in architecture. These include spatial understanding, understanding of scale, forms, surfaces, textures, volumes, further enhancing their architectural visual representation.

The Related Study Programme (RSP) is a part of the curriculum which is designed to expose the students to various national and international live projects of documentation, intensive hands-on-workshop under industrial expert guidance. Additional classes in history, visual representation, digital design fabrication, environmental sustainability and structures help lay the foundation for the rest of the program.
