The VIVA School of Architecture offers a comprehensive Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) program, designed to equip students with foundational and advanced skills in architectural design, urban planning, and sustainable building practices. The curriculum emphasizes creative problem-solving, technical proficiency, and an understanding of cultural and environmental contexts in Indian architecture.

  • Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch): A five-year full-time program approved by the Council of Architecture (COA), focusing on studio-based learning where students develop design portfolios through progressive projects ranging from basic spatial compositions to complex urban interventions.
  • Architectural Design Studios: Core courses include introductory design, advanced building design, and thesis projects, encouraging hands-on exploration of form, function, and aesthetics using tools like AutoCAD, Revit, and SketchUp.
  • Building Materials and Construction: In-depth study of materials such as concrete, steel, timber, and eco-friendly alternatives, with practical workshops on construction techniques, structural analysis, and seismic design relevant to India's diverse climates.
  • History of Architecture and Theory: Courses covering global and Indian architectural history, from ancient Indus Valley to contemporary modernism, fostering critical thinking on socio-cultural influences and theoretical frameworks like modernism and postmodernism.
  • Urban Planning and Landscape Architecture: Modules on city planning, transportation systems, environmental impact assessments, and landscape design, addressing rapid urbanization challenges in India with case studies from Mumbai and other metros.
  • Sustainable Architecture and Green Building: Emphasis on LEED certification, energy-efficient designs, passive solar techniques, and rainwater harvesting, preparing students for eco-conscious practices amid climate change.
  • Electives in Interior Design, Digital Fabrication, and Heritage Conservation: Optional courses allowing specialization in interior spaces, 3D modeling with Rhino and Grasshopper, or restoring historical structures using traditional Indian methods.
  • Professional Practice and Building Services: Training in architectural ethics, project management, contracts, and services like HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems, ensuring graduates are industry-ready.

The program integrates interdisciplinary approaches, including collaborations with civil engineering and fine arts departments, and includes internships with leading firms. Guest lectures from renowned architects and site visits to iconic structures enhance practical exposure. With a focus on innovation, the school promotes research in smart cities and resilient infrastructure, aiming to produce architects who contribute to India's built environment sustainably. The curriculum evolves with industry trends, incorporating BIM (Building Information Modeling) and VR simulations for immersive learning experiences. Overall, VIVA's architecture education blends tradition with technology, nurturing visionary designers for a dynamic future.
