Learn from distinguished architects and academics who bring decades of professional experience and research excellence
Hear from our students who are transforming their creativity into designed imaginations
Architecture here was taught through research, not just drawings. Every project was backed by data, site studies, and critical thinking, which shaped my approach to design and helped me think beyond surface aesthetics.
The hands-on making culture completely changed how I think as a designer. Building, prototyping, and testing ideas gave me confidence and momentum to start my own independent design practice right after graduation.
Living and learning within a fully residential campus with high quality standards was transformative. Studio culture, peer learning and international exposure made architecture a 24/7 holistic learning experience.
