School of Architecture formulates the Success in constant learning, practicing, e-learning, lab testing, field testing, and exchange programs leading to continuous excellence in students confidence and knowledge. Demystifying the Gap within theory and Profession is the key indicator of the whole Curriculum designed so that students pass through all steps of development- Think, learn, design, share, practice, present and achieve.

Vision

To establish a benchmark for bridging the Architectural education and profession with Sustainable design embracing Vernacular to Virtual Reality Based Adaptive Architecture -V2VRA2.
To integrate Virtual Reality as a revolutionary factor in the development of Digital Architectural application using Mixed Reality and Augmented Reality thus retrofitting/adding new concepts to an existing structure.
To preserve the cultural identity in design and blend it with latest technologies to provide Sustainable, affordable and professionally acceptable architectural solutions through technological platform for professional excellence of the students

Mission

To understand architecture through the knowledge of vernacular practices, building sciences, civil engineering technology, pure and applied arts, environmental studies, historical, cultural, socio-economic and legal parameters related to the built environment.
Blend the Architectural knowledge with Modern techniques to create Sustainable Design solutions for future Development preserving the essence of local culture.
To correlate other engineering solutions and develop competency in application of appropriate technologies.
To create Opportunity in improving quality of education of Architecture by building leadership role through collaborative learning at national and international level and by offering diverse curriculum and fully flexible credit system.

Vernacular to Virtual Reality
based Adaptive Architecture

Virtual Reality can be a revolutionary factor in the development of Architecture. This includes Mixed Reality and Augmented Reality and thus it may be a key factor in retrofitting or developing on new concepts to an existing thought process.
Vernacular to Virtual Reality based Adaptive Architecture incorporates both digital technology and new thinking in a sustainable manner to showcase the unique identity of every Architectural Design.

Human civilization has evolved and is in its continuation through integration with the ambient environment that depends on preservation of nature. Every place and region, all over the globe, has developed unique characteristics that distinguish it from others due to the multifarious interaction of evolution and human adaptability to the surroundings that defines it’s identity.

Perseverance of maintaining the identity requires proper understanding of nature and immersion into the cultural responses to the environmental assets and liabilities and it contains the essence of sustain-ability. Sustainability, being a fundamental part of cultural resources and preservation of cultural identity are complementary to each other. Sustainable design is integral to vernacular architecture that is evolved over a period of time using the local materials and technology which by carrying the local identity defines the optimum relationships between people and their place.

FAQ

Which branch is more important Architecture or civil engineering?

Both are remarkably important and unique of their own. One brings the imagination and concepts on to paper and models while other is an expert who can transform that model into real structure.

Architects take care of the beauty and functionality of a structure while Engineers take care of the strength and safety aspects.

Architecture is a specialized education where you are trained to design an imagination of owner , with best use of space, functional, useful, economical visually pleasing and functionally efficient design for human use. Engineers on the other hand incorporate these spaces with security, structural properties and technology based formation of the project.

An architect’s design is of no use unless coming into reality and an engineer is helpless in absence of the Design and concept. The futuristic imagination needs an architect and the present construction of the imagination needs an engineer.

To sum up; both make equally challenging and rewarding careers.

It is compulsory to get COA license after architecture?

Yes , Council of Architecture Registration in mandatory for practicing architecture and also in various jobs and recruitment in Architectural institutions and Firms.

Why B Arch is a five year course ?

B ARCH is a five year degree course approved and monitored by Council of Architecture Delhi in India. Western countries also have Architecture as B.Des 4 year, 3 year course. But 5 year degree course is a Bachelor of Degree program having 6months of training and Thesis submission as mandatory in final year. Shorter duration programs give you BS.C degree and not B Arch. Only B Arch degree gets the registration as architect in Council of architecture.
