7. WHAT IS ARCHITECTURE?
The word architecture can have many meanings.
Depending on the context, architecture can refer
to:
1. any man-made building or structure
2. a man-made building or structure that is
important, large, or highly creative
3. a carefully designed object, such as a chair, a
spoon, or a tea kettle
4. a design for a city, town, park, or landscape
5. the art or science of designing and building
buildings, structures, objects, and outdoor
spaces
6. a building style or method
7. a plan for organizing space
The introduction of variety of building materials
coupled with their ability to support a particular
form and size of a building has added to the
wealth of the knowledge that Indians already
possessed. With expanding global economies,
rising incomes, mass migration of people from
rural to urban areas as a result of mass transport
systems available, the demand on architecture
has increased manifolds.

8. • A wider definition may comprise all design
activity, from the macro-level (urban design,
landscape architecture) to the micro-level
(construction details and furniture). It is the
process and product of planning, designing
and constructing form, space and ambience
that reflect functional, technical, social,
environmental, and aesthetic considerations.
It requires the creative manipulation and
coordination of material, technology, light and
shadow. Architecture also encompasses the
pragmatic aspects of realizing buildings and
structures, including scheduling, cost
estimating and construction administration. As
documentation produced by architects,
typically drawings, plans and technical
specifications, architecture defines the
structure and/or behavior of a building or any
other kind of system that is to be or has been
constructed.
Work of Arjun Kamal

9. • While the production of architectural thought
requires an understanding of Art, Culture,
humanities, context and identity; complexities
of physical and social contexts etc that shape
architecture and help in the creation of
“Creative Innovations” the implementation of
the architectural thought requires sound
technical knowledge in the field of structures,
building construction, Illumination, Acoustics,
Services etc essential for the implementation
and execution of the project. In addition, in
the digital world, architects today should
be well equipped with the knowledge of
computers.
• The responsibilities assigned to an architect
require him to be an effective manager. An
architect has to be both a team player and a
leader. Not only is he required to deal with his
clients and ensure the best out of his design
team, but also included in his list of activities
is to co- ordinate between various design and
technical consultants and supervise work at
site. In effect, an architect is a project
planner and manager.

10. B.ARCH. DEGREE PROGRAMME
• The goal of B.Arch. degree programme is
therefore, to build a broad and balanced
foundation for this knowledge and these
abilities. The potential variety of an architect’s
practice is mirrored in the educational
programme.
• The architecture students are trained by getting
exposed to live problems, situations and
circumstances. Teaching, throughout the
course of five years, is based on an inter-
disciplinary approach which in addition to
classroom learning through lectures, slide
talks, discussions, assignments,
comprehension tests, etc. entails numerous
site visits and on-the-spot studies. Students
are encouraged to make their own
observations of facts, to analyze and to
evaluate them so that they may learn to reckon
the relevance and applicability of investigative
studies to the program requirements of creative
course work in architectural design.
Work of Aditya Kamal
(Alumni of IP University, New Delhi)
11. B. ARCH. COURSE
• The concept and direction of architectural
design, however takes shape gradually
through the development of the 10-
semester course. Beginning with an
introduction to the theory and application of
Basic Design, exercises in critical
appreciation and creativity culminate in a
research and/or design thesis in which a
student gets an opportunity to handle all
phases of architectural design. This
attempt ranges from the choice of the
subject of thesis, case/prototype/library
studies, analysis, identification/statement of
the problem and the objectives to the
formulation of client’s, architect’s brief and
hence to the planning and design solution.
