Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies Balwant Sheth School of Architecture

In formulating of this agenda one of the processes involved was a review of the conventionally existing modes of architectural education, research and practice. Balwant Sheth School of Architecture would learn from past, envision the future, redefine, enhance, integrate the present and constantly evolve.

"Holistic perception and its translation in three dimensions…" was the virtue of the Classical Architect. Architect perceived, analyzed and synthesized the third dimension. Classical Architect communicated the concepts to the team. In fact the Architect managed the design and designed the management process. In the present scenario, such creative leadership qualities need to be rekindled in education.

Practice of Architecture constantly needs to understand the ever changing ethos, behavioral sciences, tools and techniques, and assimilate all in contemporary design expression.
