Why the need for M. Arch. Environmental Architecture?
The architectural profession is the cornerstone of the construction industry. This industry largely influences the built development, creating cities, infrastructure and homes. Architects, thus play a vital role in shaping the built environment. While the construction industry plays a major role in building homes for people, this industry is also one of the largest consumers of energy and natural resources. From excavation of stone for building materials to manufacturing steel and managing construction activity, this industry utilizes huge stores of energy and other natural resources. With this scenario as background, the emerging profession of architecture needs to reorient itself to meet the demands of newer and faster development and at the same time be sensitive to the needs and carrying capacity of the earth's natural environment.
The Masters in Environmental Architecture aspires to give the architects this niche education and skill sets that can help them design and build environmentally sensitive architecture

What will I learn in this Course?
Following are some of the skill sets that we aim to build in the Masters in Environmental Architecture students:
1. Enhanced Design Orientation
This is done through various studio and workshop courses that aim towards providing valuable inputs of environmental sensitivity in existing design capabilities of architects. This will also include assessment and evaluation of contemporary building materials and technologies and their use in modern environmentally sensitive architecture.
2. Valuation and Quantification techniques
This has become an upcoming area of research and consulting where energy auditing and environmental assessments of buildings are much sought after. Our Masters students will be given adequate inputs and hands on working experience to develop these skills for their future practice.
3. Enhanced Research Prospects
In India, the stream of Environmental Architecture has also emerged as a potential field of advanced research and analysis as the construction industry is struggling towards evolving Indian benchmarks and criteria for environmental sensitivity in building design, materials and technologies. Our masters' students will be given orientation to carry forward their research thought to new levels.
4. Software tools
The Masters in Environmental architecture aims to expose the students to new and latest software that will enhance their design and research skills through introduction to programs such as building energy simulations, Geographic Information Systems -GIS etc.
5. Enhanced knowledge in Urban Environmental Planning
The Masters students will also be exposed to a new stream of Urban and Environmental Planning through coursework, so that their design understanding extends beyond the scope of their own sites to a much larger context at urban and regional scales. We feel that this is important as Environmental sensitivity extends beyond conventional boundaries and need a though process than encompasses larger contexts and broader time frames.
