Introduction
1.Notes for the creation of a new syllabus in architecture

(Bachelor of Architecture, University of Mumbai)
“It is time that (we) remembered that schools

were set up to challenge the wisdom of the
world and its corruption, rather than to reinforce
it.”
Daniel Liebeskind
Architectural Education in India has been weighed down by the traditions of Architectural
Practice that labor under the twin hegemonies of design and technology. In the past
architectural curricula have developed as reactions to historical change, to immediately
preceding narratives. We must appreciate that architecture today is more and more being
informed by disciplines out of/other than architecture.
There is a need for redefining the Student of Architecture today. A student of architecture is
not only a learner, but also a producer of knowledge. The student’s tools include a critical,
evaluative, conceptual mind, the ability to interconnect concepts/ facts, to use theory and
argument and seek a higher level of explanation in the process of learning and its application
to design. The student’s initial challenges shall be to differentiate between objective and
accepted reality, to appreciate architecture as a cultural process, and to perceive change as
a series of discontinuities, more than cause/effect transitions. Only then can the student
become relevant in today’s world, rather than mindlessly repeat the dogma of the past.
In the creation of a new syllabus for the Bachelor of Architecture Course, certain
adjustments to older mindsets must be made:
1. Architecture has to be appreciated as a 2nd Order Discipline. It is a Meta discipline, a
critical attitude, not merely an empirical discipline like engineering that needs/seeks/works
with data.
2. Architecture deals with fundamental issues of users, cities and societies, and not only
materials, processes and aesthetics. It questions the presupposed, and seeks new and
contemporary meanings.
Before a new syllabus is made, the makers (teachers) must recognize their own possible
insidiousness in the curriculum making process, and objectively go beyond their own
accepted knowledge beliefs and realities. Real learning will not emerge merely out of the
didactic (which itself emerges out of biases, prejudices and ad-hoc choices). Peter
Eisenmann has said: “The only way to advance in a discipline is to displace knowledge, and
the only discourses that remain healthy are those that are displacing discourses. The ones
that cling to their theory and their tradition and their rationality, die.”
The following objectives for a new syllabus for architectural education are proposed:
1. The new syllabus should prepare a student to understand and locate himself/herself in the
real world.
2. The new syllabus should appreciate and reconcile itself to the imperfect times that we live
in.
3. The new syllabus should reflect, through application, upon the technological state-of-the-
art of the world today and its relevance.
4. The new syllabus should give a direction or hope for the future.
In order to fulfill these objectives, the following questions may be asked first:
1. What is a work of architecture?

2. How is architecture different from nature?
3. How useful are our tools (curriculum) for evaluating these two questions (meta-
questioning)?
Since the latter half of 2011, the Ad-hoc Board of Studies in Architecture (University of
Mumbai) has called together the principals and senior faculty of all the colleges of
architecture under the university for a series of deliberations on the nature of the new
syllabus. Right from the very outset there has been an agreement that the syllabus should
reflect the following objectives:
• Architecture is ‘discipline’/ meta-discipline, not merely an empirical process

• Critical thinking/ criticality is important. The student must be given the tools to
critically evaluate the world he/she lives in
• The student needs to be redefined as more than a leaner, but a producer of
knowledge
• In the spreading world of information technology and easily available knowledge, the
teacher needs to be redefined as more than a giver of information, but one who can
show the student how design is a critical process
• The architecture syllabus needs be flexible. Individual colleges should be given the
means to interpret and expand on the syllabus in their own way
• Diversity must be appreciated and encouraged. Learning can be simultaneous and
non-linear
• A student needs to inculcate the ability to question, ability to redefine technology,
ability to question the relevance of technology
• Being informed by disciplines out of/other than architecture, Non technology subjects,
particularly those from the liberal arts and the humanities may come into foreground
• Emphasis should be on theory also, not only on practice (empiricism)
• Encourage research and give direction to research
In addition to these agreed objectives, the following external requirements are also
acknowledged. The first is the adoption of the Credit system for evaluation and grading, that
the University of Mumbai has adopted for all future syllabi. This entails converting the current
Annual pattern Syllabus to a Semester Pattern. Secondly, acknowledging the requirements
given by the Council of Architecture, New Delhi; the course shall now be divided into two
distinct stages- a Basic Course and Advanced Course. The Council has also encouraged
individual colleges to be given both time and credits to develop their additional syllabi
components so that diversity in directions for architectural education and practice shall be
encouraged. As such 25% of the timetable shall be dedicated to projects, electives or
coursework offered by the colleges themselves based on their philosophy and institutional
objectives.

Explanatory notes on New Aspects in the Syllabus
Sessional work
Sessional work in the B. Arch. Course can be defined as mandatory assignments carried out
by students in the classroom or the studio during the course of the semester (session).
Sesssional work will be detailed out in the course content for each subject, which may
include drawings, sketches, reports, presentations, models as per the requirements. In the
case of theory intensive subjects, sessional work may be in the form of class tests,
seminars, presentation of reports or documentation.
In the design studio or for the technical subjects, sessional work shall consist of supervised
design development, the working out of technical details, reports and documentation. All
these assignments are marked in process and upon completion may be assessed in the
form of Crits or Juries. Sessional work in
all subjects shall be designed, carried out and assessed by the subjects in charge and
collated as Internal Marks.
Allied Design Studio

The Architectural Design Studio is the central subject in the architecture course; other
subjects supplement knowledge, skills and critical understanding of the design of
architecture. The Allied Design Studio is also a studio where subjects allied to Architectural
Design can be taught and sessional work carried out in the form of design projects. These
subjects are closely associated with the core of design and architecture.
In the previous syllabus, these subjects included Basic Design, Interior Design, Landscape
Design and Urban Design/ Urban Planning. In the new syllabus, these subjects shall form
part of a representative list that may include other design based subjects such as Visual
Studies, Graphic Design, Product Design, Furniture Design, the Design of Outdoor Spaces
and Public Places, or Town Planning.
Each college may determine the teaching modules and sessional work for these subjects, as
also their location in the first three years. Each subject shall have both a Lecture as well as a
Studio component. Credits for the Allied Design Projects will be given to each student as per
his/her attendance, participation and contribution towards the projects. These Credits will be
given by the respective Project teachers/ coordinators for the term.
College Projects
College projects form part of the 25% class time that shall be planned by the colleges
according to their philosophy and institutional objectives. College Projects may include
mixed group participation of students from different years, or may be dedicated to any one
class. The College Project time and credits may also be used to supplement additional
coursework to advance knowledge in the core subjects in the syllabus.
Credits for these projects will be given to each student as per his/her attendance,
participation and contribution towards the projects. These Credits will be given by the
respective project coordinators for the term.
The following is a representative list of what may constitute college projects: Seminars,
Tutorials/ additional classes for any course, Guest Lectures, putting up Exhibitions,
Workshops, participating in Architectural Competitions or conducting Site Visits or Study
Tours.
Electives
Electives form part of the 25% class time that shall be planned by the colleges according to
their philosophy and institutional objectives. Electives may include mixed group participation
of students from different years, or may be dedicated to any one class. Electives shall be
offered by the college to each class to supplement additional coursework or to advance
knowledge in architecture and allied fields.
Credits for electives will be given to each student as per his/her attendance, participation
and satisfactory completion of assignments. These Credits for the Electives shall be given by
the respective elective teacher for the term.
Representative Lists for possible electives in architecture and allied fields can be referred to
from the Council of Architecture’s Document on Minimum Standards of Architectural
Education. Each college can, of course, determine electives based on the needs of the day,
and the availability of resource persons.

Advanced Theories
Theory is an integral aspect of cultural analysis of which architecture is central.
Significant inputs to current architectural theory have been from disciplines outside
architecture that have make thinking richer and more relevant. Architectural Theory
today is multi-disciplinary in nature, and this has significant bearing on architectural
design.
The objective of learning in this semester is to make students aware of the current
discourses in architecture through a direct interaction with architectural thinking and
ideas. It is to make comprehensible the evolution of ideas in architecture, especially after
the modernist era. Students should be provided readings, and discussions on both the
ideas and the language of theory are encouraged, using actual examples of architecture.
Sessional work should include writing about architecture, becoming conversant with the
current language of theory and gaining an insight and sensitivity to architectural thinking
that influences architectural practice today.
1.0 What are the current discourses in architecture today?

Understanding the effects of contemporary thought in society and culture today, and its
impact on architectural design. Understanding theory as an academic discipline.
2.0 Tracing the rise of theory in architecture and culture after modernism. The
significance of post-modern and post millennial discourses in architecture. Developing a
post-modern world view.
3.0 The multi disciplinary approach: Understanding ideas from outside architecture that
have informed current architectural discourse- from philosophy, sociology, linguistics,
psychology, feminism, post-colonial studies, information technology, art, cultural and
critical theory, etc. (Teachers may choose significant disciplines from which writings can
be discussed)
4.0 Describing through theoretical discourse the post-millennial world we live in and the
impact of architecture in our world today.
