The Bachelor of Architecture
course is a 5 years (10 Semester) Course, affiliated to Sardar
Patel University. The course is approved by both AICTE (All India
Council for Technical Education ) and COA (Council of
Architecture, India). The course is designed in such a way that
the students get maximum exposure to practical aspects of design.
the students undergo an office training for a period of Six months
with an Architectural firm. To build the Research aptitude
in students the final semester is dedicated to Thesis.
The First year foundation
semester concentrates on enhancing the overall of the students,
the main focus being Anthropometry (study of properties of human
body), tuning their visual perception and get acquainted to the
field architecture.
A broad introduction to basic
materials, their properties, and the method of constructions for
the same are given to the students in order to acquaint them to
know – hows their immediate built environment.
The design studio programe consist
of a residence for an artist along with his workshop and
exhibition spaces. with the basic aim of carrying forth the
detailed study of anthropometrical concern in architecture design.
The basic design exercises are taken with a more intricate study
into the patterns and textual qualities of materials and visual
graphics
The semester tends to imbibe the
sense of creating a third dimensional entry form a two dimensional
sketches is also taught in many a different way.
Leno printing, print making, etching, embossing and other methods
pave the way for a step to step extrusion to a third dimensional
architectural object, which then is transformed into a real life
structure.
The built environment surrounding
us has a certain language characteristics of the place, in terms
of its visual aspects, in term of human behavior, in terms of
climatic response and many more ingrained features. This
particular course is such framed as to sensitize the student to
these context – Particular issues of design that are vital for
development of our neighborhoods in sustainable manner.
In order to achieve this, a special study tour is organized to
usually a historically significant place and a compressive
analysis is carried out of its built fabric. A.P.I.E.D. Boasts of
many great compilations of student’s documentation and analytical
work accomplished in the duration of this semester.
Practical training forms an
integral part in the shaping of an architect. This semester
requires students to undergo training understand the complexities
of working in the field.
In the past year, Students have been finding themselves working
under some of the most prominent architects in India as well as in
other countries.
In the recent years the students have been getting placed with
architects such as Daniel Libeskind, Eugene Tsui, Raj Rewal,
B.V.Doshi, Arcop Associates, Bimal Patel, Gautam Bhatia, Karan
Grover, Matthew & Ghosh, Morphogenesis, Hafeez Contractor, Anish
Shah and may more.
The Semester Program revolves around
the various facets of residential design in various scales, mass
housing being the center of attention. Housing apartments and
townships are the new trend of the urbanized city in order to meet
the ever increasing demand of human habitat in the limited land
space. The design Challenge rests in arraigning the pieces
together in such a way as to meet the minimum requirements of
space with affordable aesthetics, while also reinventing methods
of design for a better living environment in current and
predicated future urban scenario. The special strategy of the
college being due emphasis on sustainable methods of building,
students are encouraged to think environmental health and
resources optimization simultaneously.
The academic scope of this semester encompasses architectural
issues at a large scale, pertaining to key planning of the city as
a whole. The aim is to develop a deeper insight into the city’s
urban fabric and its built Character. A broader base of
information of its built environment is analyzed and an
appropriate response is reached in form of an urban intervention.
The design program enforces critical analysis of site geometry,
important axes, land division, building division, visual lines,
historical linkages, building silhouettes along with the
foreground and background of the built form. A team of senior
professors and visiting academicians guide students by assisting
them on site studies and help them with many audio-visual
presentations on the subject.
THESIS DISSERTATION, the last semester of the academic program,
permits students to frame respective design or research projects
as per their own choices. Students are expected to put up their
level best performance and understanding of the professional
skills learned by far. The freedom off design program motivates
towards proactive thinking and originality pf work, right from
choosing the design program motivates towards proactive thinking
and originality of work right from choosing the design challenge
to its appropriate solution and presentation of the same. Students
are however kept in touch with professional guidance of
academicians of their own preferences in order to keep them
rightly orientated.
A.P.I.E.D is proud to have brought out a substantial of quality
thesis project works by its past students, which proved precious
for further references by students and professionals alike, the
projects ranging from every aspect of architecture and also its
related fields.
We as an Institute recognize the urgent need for a trained
professional in the discipline of interior design. space
planning and furniture design. In the current, rapidly growing
economic scenario of India, Where it is envisaged that with
multinational companies setting base and emerging consciousness
amongst people for brand image, the role of an interior Designer
is consistently being challenged.
Our course curriculum comprises of Progressive learning through
various subjects such as Anthropometrics, Basic Design,
Construction, Working Drawing, Quantities Estimation and
Specification over a period of three years.
We also encourage the concept of interdisciplinary model of
education which effectively integrates the knowledge of art,
product design, graphics design, architecture and other related
fields. We believe our unique model of teaching helps in
developing an overall sensitivity amongst students to various
aspects of design and its representation. Subject such as
Theories of Design, History of Art, Culture and Design are
intended to develop critical thinking and further evolve novel
ways in which we can envision the futuristic trends in Interior
Design in India and Worldwide.
We also encourage that students gain through a hand on approach to
learning through participation in various workshops related to
glass, metal weaving, print making, lino and woodcuts etc.
visiting various building sites where construction activity is
ongoing, provides our students with necessary exposure to
practical realities of the profession.

The programme aims at development of a broad understanding of
planning process with respect to socioeconomic, physical and
environmental impact on the related surrounding. The programme
further seeks to extend the limits of existing Urban & Regional
Planning theories and actively pursue the discovery of new viable
forms of urban agglomerations for the new generations.
Central to the curriculum in Urban Planning is the study of Urban
process in their various embodiments such as Economic, Social &
Physical Infrastructural facilities, environmental impacts and the
political & administrative framework in the context of the built
environment
The combination of theory session and studio exercise in the
curriculum enables translation of knowledge into practical
solutions. The studio exercise primarily aim at cultivation of
planning methodology with critical reviews of suggested proposal
and innervations.
Town or Area Development plan, T.P. Schemes, City Development
plan, Regional plan are some of the outcomes of the studio
exercise structured at various levels of planning. Tools to
implement such plans, understanding of legislative measures and
development control regulation are an integral part of the studio.
