B.Arch
Architecture shapes how communities live and interact with the built environment, influencing its functionality, resilience and sustainability. As cities expand and infrastructure grows, architects must balance spatial needs, regional heritage, environmental performance and technical feasibility. Digital technologies are reshaping practice through computational design, building information modeling and climate simulation. The School of Architecture & Planning at Chandigarh University, Uttar Pradesh, offers a five-year Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) program approved by the Council of Architecture. The program integrates design thinking, material exploration and environmental analysis with AI-assisted design, BIM and parametric workflows, treating architecture as a research-informed discipline. Studio laboratories, design critiques, live projects and masterclasses help students develop evidence-based judgment for creating sustainable, responsive and culturally grounded built environments.
