Welcome to BGS School of Architecture & Planning (
BGSSAP).
Human imagination and endeavour are constantly redesigning the world.
Our vision is to provide world-class knowledge with leading practice, to
equip you for an outstanding career. Currently we plan to offer the
exciting Bachelor of Architecture undergraduate program. The B.Arch. is a
rigorous and comprehensive program that aims at developing the required
skill, environmentally and socially sensitive, technologically advanced
and professionally competent Architects. Our relationship to the
environment has never been more challenging than it is today. How will
architecture react to these developments and these demands? Is the
challenge we wish to address here.
NEWNESS needs to be the emphasis of our approach, which makes
possible architecture of freedom in demonstration. The relevance for
opportunities of innovation, time to conceive strategies are the need of
the hour. We live in an era of rapid transformation. More than ever
before, technological developments have reshaped our perception of the
world. Our universe is becoming small, with individual primate cities as
neighbourhoods. The teaching learning process needs to emphasise on
exploration, exposure to wide ranging disciplines, visual and language
skills and critical thinking. The school environs inform the learners
regarding the present and simultaneously challenges the future.
Student interests may be pursued through the highly motivated
exploration sequence. Every semester break during the vocation is
generally dedicated to travel. Every year, students may select from a
range of faculty-directed travel experiences, nationally or
internationally. Our Institution includes fieldwork experiences with its
courses.
Our Institution is a dynamic ecosystem with deep ties to the
profession it represents, professional bodies and the diverse people it
serves. Hosting visiting scholars, supporting active student
organizations (National Association of Students of Architecture, NASA)
and sponsoring lecture series that bring to campus distinguished
practitioners and academics, all contribute to the comprehensive life of
the School. The School needs to position itself as a major research
engine for sustainable architecture, and, we need to play an important
role in building prosperity and the economic vitality of our region.
Architects and Planners are the ones who are working to solve critical
issues related to the built environment, and the students that we
educate are the ones who are going to solve these challenges. We have a
critical mass of excellent faculty, world-class facilities, and strong
program envisages based on VTU syllabus. Our final priority is in
developing future leaders and entrepreneurs who will address our
critical national and international challenges. We are investing
strategically and are aligning the institution structure for maximum
operational efficiency as a new school of thought. Please feel free to
contact us or come for a visit. I look forward to hearing from you.
