Architecture is the art and technique of designing and building. The practice of architecture is employed to fulfill both practical and expressive requirements, and thus it serves both utilitarian and aesthetic ends. Although these two ends may be distinguished, they cannot be separated, and the relative weight given to each can vary widely. Because every society—settled or nomadic—has a spatial relationship to the natural world and to other societies, the structures they produce reveal much about their environment (including climate and weather), history, ceremonies, and artistic sensibility, as well as many aspects of daily life.

​

We too believe, that Architecture is everywhere. Each and every building: home, school, office, hospital and supermarket were designed for their particular purpose. It is of vital importance that these buildings, and in turn the environments they form and the neighbourhoods and cities they are a part of, are designed to be the best possible buildings for their specific context, use and the people who use them.

​

Somewhere we Indians, have architecture sense in our genes. Having the capabilities of giving world ultra modern city planning of Indus Valley Civilization to the high rise skyscrapers that adorn the skyline of our cities, Indian architecture has always been the envy of the world. In fact in today's world, we can easily find the associations of Indian architects everywhere across the globe. 

​

Taking our traditional yet modern architecture education forward, India has around 400 Architecture Schools for educating our future architects.  Education in these architecture schools are fully governed by Council of Architecture, Govt. of India body.
