  Academic – Philosophyand Curriculum Development CURRICULUM A curriculum for Architectural Education evolves based on the nature of man and of society, its aims and aspirations, and its potential to express in various form and medium. It states the relationships between man, his institutions, his techniques and their interpretation in spatial and physical terms. A curriculum is a statement of intentions, which in its structure states the relationships between disciplines and courses, clarifying objectives, stating emphasis and points of view. The aim of architectural education as it is recognized is to train the mind to perceive the context of man and society in its best potential, to interpret it through developed skills of expression into a sustainable and qualitative living environment.

  THE CONTEXT Contextof Indian Society brings together inheritance of an ancient culture, its history, thought, philosophy, arts and architecture portrayed through varied and multiple expressions. Challenges of a contemporary society with an evolving new social order, thought, philosophy, new techniques and potentials of new expressions, form parameters of contemporary education. It demands continuity with the ethos of the past, its sense of place; along with -the capacity for continual rethinking and the need for transformed expressions of the present time. This is made more poignant in an economic order of dynamic variations that demand architectural attention. Environmental concerns: Increasing awareness of the fragility of the man made environment and issues of balance of manmade with the natural order. Issues of optimal use of natural resources, and sustainable development: Range of technological options: Validity of appropriate technology, use of local techniques their continued relevance in developing economics, on one hand on other hand access to sophisticated high technology its use for present day building tasks in a globalizing urban environment. Rate of change of Cultural Dimensions: Rootedness of Indian society and value systems on the one hand and the effect of global universal culture on the other hand. The impact on value systems: In a fast changing, and largely materialistic society the need to develop human values that recognize the role of the architectural professional as an enabler, a form giver, with an ability to take positions. The changing Role of the Profession: changes towards managing and coordinating varied specialized skills and professions and yet to give a humanizing quality to the built environment. These reflect in increasing concern with courses on Environmental Balances, Appropriate Technology and Advanced Technological Systems. Course on Indigenous cultural roots and global impacts and Professional Management Systems. In Design Process these imply co- ordination of multiple dimensions of specialized inputs and modern media and methods
