The faculty team comprises of urbanists, architects, historians, anthropologists, artists, lawyers and engineers who have studied and taught in various reputed universities all around the world. Students will be encouraged to work across different disciplines enabling them to think critically, create and make using varied tools and mediums, read extensively across disciplines and set new frameworks of research and practice. The Jindal School of Art and Architecture is founded with the vision to become one of the foremost schools of learning of the visual, material and the built environments. The School is committed to developing an academic environment that is intellectually rigorous, interdisciplinary, innovative, and creative. The school follows internationally accepted best practices of the academia and is supported by an acclaimed faculty. We believe in research and innovative excellence that fosters interdisciplinary research cutting across academic programs allowing students and faculty to actively engage in addressing the most pressing issues facing our world today. Hear from those who work with and research our cities, our built Environment; from those who train other practitioners? What is this work like? With who do they work? How did begin with their study of architecture and the built environment. What kind of academic training did they receive? How did their families feel about their chosen field? How do they feel about their work? > “First life, then spaces, then buildings. The other way around > never works” - Jan Gehl Cities are constantly made, by people, buildings, train routes, roads, parks, vendors, skylines, migrants, and their lived experiences, interactions and actions. The city is (y)our workshop, (y)our working ground, and (y)our field.
