About the Department

Initiated in July 2008, the Department of Architecture at the School of Planning and Architecture, Bhopal, fosters a vibrant design culture. Our program ensures that graduates are not only well-regarded in architectural practice but are also equipped to make critical contributions to the profession's future. We emphasize an open studio culture where students across all levels can collaborate, learn from each other, and develop innovative ideas. This environment encourages independent and original research, providing in-depth practical knowledge.

Our curriculum is comprehensive, covering both the theoretical and practical aspects of architecture and planning. We focus on understanding the broader and deeper aspects of human interaction with physical and cultural contexts. Our students are trained to think innovatively and critically, understanding their role in society and how it integrates with others to create well-designed, safe, and sustainable environments.

The Bachelor of Architecture course integrates studio-based design projects with theoretical knowledge and skills developed through lectures in technical studies and cultural contexts. Extensive practical knowledge is imparted through site visits and case studies. Design projects, requiring both manual and computer-generated presentation skills, are taught in small groups, allowing for personalized attention throughout the course. This work culminates in a comprehensive design portfolio, showcasing students' achievements and preparing them for postgraduate studies or professional careers.
