Architecture as social commentary holds a mirror to society, reflecting its glory and challenges. From stylistic evolution to radical visions, architecture not only responds to society but actively helps to shape it. Architecture plays a significant role in shaping cultural identity and also acts as a medium to express creativity. Buildings and structures act as symbols of a community’s values, beliefs; heritage and their design reflect the unique identity of the place.

Architecture is a noble profession which deals with the well-being of human beings and Society. Its routes are as ancient as the civilization. Popularly defined as combination of Arts and Technology, it ensures creation of built environment ensuring health, hygiene, safety and happiness of the occupants as well as visitors.

The career of an Architect is very promising and satisfying, being a ‘Professional’, one is capable of starting the practice, in the modern terms ‘start-up’ at the earlier stage of life with minimal investment. Hence, Architects are popularly known as ‘Job Givers’ rather than ‘Job Seekers’.

The construction and infrastructure activities across India are at its peak and the Architects have to positively contribute to the development of Nation as never before.
