Critical thinking, research and practice are the focus of the curriculum. Students are trained to choose, think and link various disciplinary approaches to tackle complexities that characterise built environments. There are no intellectual or disciplinary boundaries that exist here, a rarity in architecture schools. This enables them to challenge divisions and develop expansive approaches to problem solving.
At JSAA, education is focused on a high degree of interdisciplinarity. The school in tandem with the university offers a minor specialisation track. Students enjoy the freedom to design their own paths of studies, under guidance and regular discussions with their mentors at the school, which spans other schools and disciplines, established through interdisciplinary electives and minor courses of inquiry.
‘Everything we make is an improvisation, a lash-up, something inept and provisional” says David Pye. JSAA agrees to this proposition deeply and challenges normative falsities like ’creativity is a gift,’ ‘creativity cannot be taught,’ ‘design is a moment’ etc. The school is based on a ‘practice based learning’ theory and develops / inculcates creative skills among students through making-improvising-designing.
Learning through observation, documentation and action. Cities, villages, sites, studios are where students learn and gather practical experience in problem solving. Here they learn how to improvise, theorise practices and practice theories in real life situations by indulging themselves with real project sites, clients, issues / challenges and hence, a totally real set of constraints.
Hands on approach and ‘Making’ forms an integral part of the teaching pedagogy at JSAA. Students are mandated to make / build objects, installations and buildings by hands, in order to engage closely with all scales of construction processes and techniques. The fabrication lab and the construction yard on campus therefore becomes a second home to our students.
Apart from architects, the faculty comprises urbanists, historians, geographers, anthropologists, artists, lawyers and engineers who are trained from top universities across the globe. Harvard, Cornell, Oxford, UC-Berkeley, Purdue, Heidelberg, Politecnico Di Milano, Cincinnati, UCL-Bartlett are among best universities of the world where our faculty members have taught and studied.
