DEPARTMENT HEAD’S MESSAGE

Our vision is to create unique, outstanding, multi-skilled, creative designers who could address critical real-life problem scenarios through their implicit and explicit knowledge. Our design curriculums are rich knowledge sources that could address theoretical, scientific, technological, and practical subject domains. It is a rich composite of theory and hands-on practice to give a perfect learning experience. Our teaching and learning are not limited to the fixed boundaries of the design studio. We are encouraging students to learn by doing while stepping out from the conventional framework of teaching and learning. Students are motivated to explore, inspire, feel and see real life scenarios through implicit understanding of the problem domain. We give individual, student oriented, face to face collaboration in order to build creativity and confidence. Students are learning through direct peer guidance and encouraged to defend their innovative design concepts, solutions through logical reasoning process. Archt.
