A foremost centre of learning that produces a paradigmatic shift in the way we make, study, and manage the Built Environment.
Fostering an environment wherein of knowledge, is seen not as finite, autonomous pre-given domain but rather a terrain which is as much in the making as the very object it seeks to investigate, contest, represent and reproduce.
Providing learners with a multidisciplinary, intellectually rigorous and open-ended environment where they can chart their own trajectories thereby reproducing themselves as critical and self-reflexive agents working with our built environment(s).
Imagining and fostering an intellectual framework that moves beyond binary modes of thinking that constantly opposes experts to laymen, education to practice, entrepreneurality to criticality, theory to practicality, thinking to doing/making and so on.
Learning and producing knowledge through faculty and students collaborating as peers and as active agents.
