Bachelor of Architecture
The B.Arch course which is spread over a period of five years is divided into
10 semesters. The First year takes care of foundation subjects which introduces
students coming from different backgrounds to a world of design . Design thinking is
developed during this year along with graphical skills that form the core language
of design. Different types of skills like sketching, free hand, model making, drafting
are honed.
Second year usually expects students to implement their basic design
skills into more realistic spaces and understanding of spatial aspects is developed
where students also document some rural habitats and vernacular practices
involved in our country even today.
Third year imparts an advanced level of
technical knowledge combined with design thinking and philosophy that expects
students to work on large scale commercial projects in an urban environment.
Serious issues of affordable and sustainable housing are tackled in Fourth year
along with advanced technical subjects like building services and construction.
Students venture out towards the second half of the year to intern with
professionals in the industry and get an insight on the practice that exists.
Finally, Fifth year allows students to research and design on a topic of their interest
which culminates into an architectural design thesis.
