Practice-Facilities Development and Ideas Management – Implications on Education
Architecture as a profession, from its primordial beginning was concerned with the entire field of built environment rather than a question of mere shelter. Architecture was seen as a practical science of building or construction and its decorative expression was interpreted for its stylistic consistency to classify and categorize the same. The development of modernistic architecture will be a revolutionary step for Indian architects to redefine the scope of architecture incorporating comprehensive activities and services at various scales of built environment. This enables architects to reorient their creativity as specialists. The simplest way of defining architects is as professionals possessing set of skills, technical as well as managerial and artistic in nature. There is some perceived inadequacy in the training and education imparted to architecture students as they adapt to the changing context of practice and requirement, this problem of primary concern is to be addressed in the future. A significant amount of time is spent on management activities in the practice of architecture for which the student is inadequately prepared in the university. It is clear that to offer professional service with value additions, educational institutions need to be dynamic and supportive. This means to offer improvised service is to integrate the organizational change and building designs, the study of appropriate advanced technological methods and materials. Restructuring architectural education to make it more responsive, at the grass roots levels, would mirror this.
