Message from
the Dean

Welcome to the Faculty of Architecture where we have continously endeavoured to create a culture of innovation by imparting within the students essential qualities utilising all the resources within their environment. We vouch for our inclusiveness through our teaching pedagogies, scholarships, artistic and design practices. The reason for our subsistence is the creation of next generation designers and architects. In addition to this, our focus is on developing within the students practical skills which are required for the formulation of solutions to some of the global issues in architecture. We also focus on nurturing the interpersonal skills of the students to handle the various inter-cultural landscapes, bureaucrats, amongst other parties within the social context. Our unique focus on research also centres on developing the students’ abilities in data compilation and research analysis – both quantitative and qualitative. Therefore, our focus is on the overall development of the students to have a highly effective architecture human resource for the betterment of the society.

What Students Say

Parul University always vouches for its vibrancy. It was no different when it came to placements. I really admire the placement process, because the T&P cell worked very hard to get me placed at one of the best firms I always aspired to work at.

Disha Patel

I personally appreciate the overall learning process which the Faculty of Architecture facilitates with the efforts of the highly trained teachers, the wonderful events & activities organised by the University.

Divyesh Gujar

The Faculty of Architecture has always rendered to provide world class education and research. Along with this, it has always encouraged its students to participate in co-curricular events by hosting various Architecture Expos where we got to display our various project works.

Fuzel Siddiqui

It was a half-hearted decision to choose architecture over design. But soon after joining the architecture program in PU, I felt like it was the right choice. The ultra-modern labs, experienced professors, class mates from all across the nation and world, also the lively campus made me fall in love with architecture.
