This document discusses pedagogical approaches to teaching vernacular architecture in India. It reviews literature on current methods used in other countries and proposes guidelines for incorporating vernacular architecture education into the architecture curriculum in India. The key points are:
1) Only teaching theoretical knowledge is not enough, practical techniques must also be included to address issues related to future vernacular architecture.
2) Case studies show some schools do not adequately teach vernacular architecture; it should be a core rather than elective subject.
3) A balanced approach combining practical skills and theoretical knowledge is needed, along with incorporating lessons into the design studio to reduce costs. This will help architecture students and professionals contribute to the sustainable

REDEFINING ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATIONIN THE ERA OF GLOBALISATION AND LIBERLISATI...JIT KUMAR GUPTA
Architectural education stands at cross-roads looking for its identity and direction , which will make education more rational, realistic, productive, focused, objective and relevant to the profession of architecture. As it stands today architectural education remains outdated and irrelevant. Architecture, as a profession, has always been known to be evolving, devolving never static and never finite. The role and importance of education in any field of built environment is well recognized. Quality of any profession has been found to have high degree of dependency on the quality of professionals serving the basic needs of the profession. However, quality of professionals is closely linked to the quality of education imparted to train the professionals. Accordingly, intent, content and pattern of education imparted assumes criticality in promoting the quality of any profession and architectural education in no exception to this principle. Architectural education has only recently been recognized as one of the critical components of profession of architecture. Very little effort/research has been made in the past to rationalize the system of architectural education in order to keep pace with the dynamism of the profession. In the process, architectural education has become highly static, far removed from current architectural practices unable to meet the challenges posed by globalization and liberalization. In order to mke architectural education more relevant, productive and supportive of the profession, agenda for architectural education needs to be revisited, reviewed, revised and redefined.
An Innovative Framework for Teaching/Learning Technical Courses in Architectu...ssuserd32a56
This study presents a teaching/learning framework based on parallels between problem-based learning (PBL), constructivist pedagogy, and design, which enables students to learn technical courses in a way that promotes sustainable and self-directed learning. The study used qualitative content analysis of literature surveyed from scientific databases to determine thematic codes and find the relations. The theoretical framework was implemented in a case study conducted in a second-year course in building construction technology at Tishk International University, Sulaimaniya, Iraq. The results indicate that solving ill-defined problems increased student enjoyment in learning various subjects through several teaching methods including self-directed learning. The instructor's role is to facilitate learning rather than to provide knowledge by showing the solutions. This stimulates the students' curiosity toward understanding problems and approaching solutions through a game-based scheme. The suggested framework can be a guide for instructors teaching technical courses of any kind. This method equips students with technical knowledge that benefits them in their studies and their professional lives after graduation, as they can integrate both their design and technical knowledge.
HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE EDUCATION: POTENTIALS AND LIMITATIONS FOR A BETTER DE...Iman Gawad
Lately, the study of 'History of architecture' courses has lost its vitality and importance, and has become far too ignored from the current architectural design debates. Students in different schools of architecture, especially in architectural institutions with limited resources, are expected to associate History and Theory subjects with Design challenges. This does not always happen dependably and if it does, it is not attributed to educational studies and methodical teaching practices. Therefore, the process of teaching History of architecture, with the need of reinstating its relevance to solving design problems, must actively re-adjust its focus to give students opportunities to analyze more rather than learn by heart the history of the world architecture. The questions are: “How can history of architecture's courses respond to this challenge?” and “How can history teachers apply new teaching strategies to relate more to the design courses and projects?” With answers to these questions and guidance into these arguments, university educators can help students make sense of studying different courses of the history of architecture as well as benefiting from lessons of the past in their current design projects.
The research begins with reference to successful teaching pedagogies and education in history of architecture courses and continues with the author’s personal teaching experiences in different history of architecture courses in several national and private universities in Egypt. The author proposes a number of re-visualisation of different exercises and assignments adopted in history classes with the aim of translating them into ones that account for students being able to tackle their own design studio problems and use history as a tool to find answers to questions that emanate from their own design experiences.
CHALLENGES OF ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATION IN INDIA.docxJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Architecture, as a profession, has its genesis in all arts and all sciences. Operational domain of profession of architecture revolves around creating buildings which are supposed to be synthesis of aesthetic, technology and humanities. Buildings are designed to provide optimum level of operational efficiency besides ensuring quality indoor environment for end users. Buildings are also known to be large consumers of energy and resources besides generators of waste. When not planned and designed rationally, buildings not only make end users unhealthy and sick but also create imbalance in environment and ecology. Considering large energy implications, carbon footprints, adverse impact on use of resources and promoting sustainability , buildings have to be planned , designed and constructed with great care, caution and sensitivity. Accordingly, role of Architects and profession of architecture assumes importance to create sustainable built environment. Considering massive growth of population and requirements of creating large number of state of art buildings, to take care of the basic human needs, profession of architecture is getting firmly rooted and commanding a relatively better acceptance in the post- independence period. With liberalisation of technical education in India and large number of students opting for architecture as a career, number of institutions imparting architectural education have increased manifold. With rapid growth of institutions, architectural education is facing large number of challenges and issues in terms of quality of education imparted; availability of quality faculty; mushrooming of architectural institutions ; widening gap between education and profession; challenges posed by globalisation and liberalisation ; changing architectural vocabulary; norms and standards of architectural education and new building materials & construction technologies besides role of the regulatory authorities. Based on the issues identified, paper attempts to define strategies and identify best global practices which would help in making architectural education more focussed, more qualitative, more supportive, more productive and relevant to the context. It would help and promote profession, by providing quality professionals to create new order of built environment , which is cost-effective, time efficient and makes users more productive and healthy besides creating buildings which are least consumers of energy and promoters of global and local sustainability
