The main objective of the Bachelor of Architecture program is to educate and train students to become professionally sound and creative architects and also to prepare them for higher studies. Teaching is focused on enhancing creative abilities, critical thinking and to inculcate professional competence and ethical practice.
After the first two foundation semesters, the third and fourth semesters are focused on the basics of architectural design with emphasis on the understanding of architecture as a combination of functional and aesthetic concerns. The course introduces design as the study of interrelationship of spaces and generation of architectural form based upon program, building materials, technology and aesthetic sensibilities. Geographical and cultural context plays a critical role in the design process.
The fifth and sixth semesters form the intermediate level of the courses introduce advanced structures, building technologies and design. Understanding of the context in master planning plays a vital role in the design of built environment. The students at this stage are also introduced to the concerns of sustainability.
The seventh and eighth semesters are the start of advanced level that broadens the horizon of study to encompass the issues of urbanism and the built environment. This includes the impact of individual building on its wider physical and cultural context that shapes the built environment. Topics like regeneration of historic urban centers and housing design form the main focus at this level.
The ninth and tenth semesters are for the thesis research and design with a focus on independent research on a topic of personal interest and its articulation in the final design project.
