The M.Arch Urban Design at Sushant School follows a hands on approach that weaves together all other subjects based out of present-day issues into the studio project to give meaning and a tangible purpose to our environs. The current approach in India is top down, where the urban environment is designed by complying with the requirements of the funding agencies. At Sushant, we work closely with the city’s development authorities and communities to address the concerns using participatory approaches which are the real tools of an urban designer and hence are deeply embedded in the coursework. Located in a fast growing city like Gurgaon, and being closely associated with the capital, Sushant provides the right exposure and opportunities to engage in meaningful discussions that influence various historical, theoretical and real-world dimensions of Urbanism.
