B.ARCH
The Bachelor in Architecture programme at IDPT leads a student centric choice based approach, which is the foundation along with liberal studies education that will become a distinctive attribute that FoA,
MS-IDPT offers. An application and outcome based learning throughout the five-year programme ensures holistic personality development as well as an informed professional in the field of design who is sensitive and sensible to the issues of sustainability.
The module based delivery is formulated to enable teachers to impart education that ensures synthesis of information and application of knowledge. In a world flooded with data and information the graduate of FoA, MS-IDPT will be able to synthesise information and convert it to knowledge, through a process rich in critical thinking and appropriate expression.
Architecture is the creation of human environments. It coalesces the humanities and the sciences manifesting itself in designing of form, space and order. Architecture is situated in the expression of human values and provides the context for human activities.
An Integrated approach synonymous with trans-disciplinary understanding is crucial to encourage integrated and critical thinking, to build linkages between diverse academic inputs and practices. Students will utilize varied contradictory perspectives to understand current problems and positions contextually and seek Integrated solutions to build a happy society, intrinsic to the stated Vision.
Innovation is valued as a catalyst to growth. Through innovative approaches to pedagogy, the transaction of curriculum will be based on the principle of joyful learning thereby achieving better learning outcomes. The aim of the program is to develop each budding architect’s metacognitive skills, manage learning strategies and direct the learning processes towards meaningful design solutions.
M.ARCH
The M. Arch. (Urban Design) program intends to engage in multi-disciplinary approach and become more effective in forming the vision for a holistic development. The program focuses especially on the Indian scenario and the transformation that Indian urban areas are undergoing.
Urban Design is the Emerging Design field in Indian Context with direct application to projects like New Town / Area Development, Water front developments, Open & Public space development, Urban Renewal projects, Various projects in Smart City development, Urban Conservation and wide range of public projects.
Urban transformations with emphasis on Equity, Inclusive development, Livability, and Sustainability promoting the aspirations of citizens, play a significant role towards achieving these goals.
The Urban Design course will address two major issues of relevance and adaptability in its course structure to ensure effectiveness and absorption of graduates into decision making positions in practice and academics.
The graduates will be trained to contribute to the development in India at the same time envisaging to address key global issues such as climate change, environmental sustainability, social cities, digital design and its application that are the need of the hour and have a wide spread application.
The course intends to become the epicentre for documentation and research on Urban Design to generate and augment vital data, especially of the rich Indian urban history and cities developed in India and the learning from the same is intended to be applied to real life situations and further research.
