B.Arch Program

How do humans visualize and inhabit the world? What is architecture? Who is an Architect?

Cedric Price famously said, “Architecture is what Architects do”. While this is a definition with a broad brush, one may say that the imposition of some kind of order in nature through man’s creation of the built environment is Architecture.

As “mother of the arts” and its subsequent development as an influential profession, architecture has achieved near-universal recognition as a noble pursuit. The discipline has therefore from time immemorial attracted the most talented and able of women and men to the profession, namely, Marcus Pollio Vitruvius, Leon Battista Alberti, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, to architects of the modern era, namely Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis I Kahn, Le Corbusier, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, and in India, Charles Correa and BV Doshi to name a few.

The B.Arch program at ASPA attracts the most able of talent pool among both students and faculty. The School has over the past five years attracted faculty with education and experience in leading global universities and national schools of repute such as SPA, CEPT, and the IITs. Faculty from a variety of fields related to the discipline of architecture including city planning, interior design, landscape architecture, urban design, history of architecture and urban development teach or rather facilitate learning at ASPA.
