Faculty of Architecture and Planning

Architect Charanjit Singh Shah, founder of Creative Group, told Parul University students that a building can be cooled from 44 to nearly 26 degrees without air conditioning through passive design. Drawing on 55 years and more than 65 airports, he argued the future of architecture lies beyond net zero.

The architecture exhibition at Parul University laid out ten semesters of student work in a single hall, from first-year paper studies to Olympic-scale thesis proposals. Urban plans, temple conservation, museums, and civic buildings showed what an architecture student here actually learns to make.

Architect Siddharth Majumdar of ARCOP did something unusual at Parul University’s Young Ideas: he presented two major designs his firm never won. His session was an honest lesson in the reality of architecture, a profession of both accomplishment and disappointment, where good work can still lose.

Creativity can also be learnt through copying to find one’s voice, and this is how Parul University takes up the great projects by not imitating them but training the students. Students work on the Centre Pompidou to learn the colour-coded pipes, then work on models of Taipei 101 and learn how a 660-tonne pendulum keeps the tower still.

A first-year architecture student builds a library of polyhedra. By the seventh semester, the same student proposes designs to government bodies and the Council of Architecture. The ten-semester curriculum at Parul University, and the studio projects that mark each stage of it.

The celebrated technique, Prachin Kari, was used for building the Taj Mahal, also known as the stone inlay technique. The place has seen the craftsmen’s number decrease from 10,000 to fewer than 3,000 now. Parul University students documented this for national competition.

Young Ideas was proudly hosted by Parul University. The esteemed speaker, Architect Snehal Shah – the founder of Snehal Shah Architects deliberated 5 lessons to the young & enthusiastic student of Faculty of Architecture & Planning. He said – learn from your mentors, from history, from climate, from experience and from your own mistakes. His entire work portfolio resonated his connection with sun, shadow and natural ventilation.
