School of Architecture Director's Message

A student doesn’t choose architecture…. rather architecture chooses you. Every student who walks into the portals of the school is here because he or she is special. They inherently have a streak of creativity, a sense of style, or the ability to imagine and visualise that which hasn’t still been built. This is the quality that gives them a cut above the rest to make a difference to the world outside.

We at the school are committed to nurture this in every student through creative studio exercises, community engagement, hands-on workshops, site visits for technical courses, and study tours that connect one to the rich architectural heritage of India or the World. We also encourage exposure to software tools that aid drafting, rendering and simulations to ensure that the overall programme outcomes are met and every student gains a 360-degree learning.

Having a role model or mentor is very crucial to a young mind and our dedicated team of faculty members ensure this by guiding them towards research, project-based learning, collaborative studios, internships, options for professional electives and specializations that give our graduates the extra advantage. Our institutional collaboration with the Indian Institute of Architects (I IA) and Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) provide a platform for students to engage with the profession, participate in competitions and win awards.

Our International collaborations for student exchanges, workshops, immersive study tours and faculty presentations for conferences ensure that students never fall short of opportunities. We have collaborations across Europe, UK and USA with Universities that offer Summer and Winter schools that give a flavour of International education to the undergraduate students, preparing them for higher studies in different cultures should they choose to.

We do offer a Doctoral research programme with scholars researching on diverse topics of interest in architecture and planning. We are now looking to broaden our horizon by adding programme offerings in the post graduate level, with an M.Arch. in Environmental Architecture and M.Plan. with a specialization in Smart City Planning. Both courses are contemporary, much sought after and are the need of the hour. The programmes are aimed at working professionals who are passionate about sustainable design solutions both at city and building level that offer energy saving and smart solutions. Surely, these new programmes will carve out a unique niche for REVA University School of Architecture to pave the way to be leaders in architecture education in India

I believe that our students will undoubtedly choose their future career path with confidence; be it academics, entrepreneurship, self-employment or working for a large consortium. A REVA alumnus will be a lifelong learner, a leader and an asset to any organization. Come, discover our world and prepare yourself to be transformed.
