1. SYNOPSIS

1.1 INTRODUCTION:

1.1.1 INTRODUCTION OF ARCHITECTURAL STUDIES IN INDIA

The footprints of contemporary architecture and architectural education in India go back about 200
years during the period of colonization in India, British started building iconic and supreme building in
India such as Courts, palaces, parliament house, etc. they used their architectural feature while
designing these building. But, as the years passed British Architects got inspired by Indian architecture
and invented new style of architecture.

In late 19 century people of India tried to study in the field of architecture along with British and gained
education in architecture field, for this first architecture college in India and Asia named as J J School of
architecture was established in 1913. Provision of quality education in field of architecture sir J J School
of architecture was the only college in India providing architectural education in India.

As year passed the scope of architectural education increased, which increased the demand of
architecture institutions in India. After independence the major architectural institutes were established
in India some of them are CEPT Ahmedabad, Rachna sansad, and many more, out of them is School
of Planning and Architecture (SPA), Delhi established in 1941.
1.1.2 INTRODUCTION OF ARCHITECTURAL STUDIES IN INDIA

School of planning and architecture (SPA) are a group of autonomous public institute for higher
education under Ministry of human resource development, government of India. There are 3 listed
institute of SPA in India among which the first and oldest one is SPA Delhi established in 1941 and
newer one SPA Bhopal and SPA Vijayawada both established in 2008.

The main objective of SPA is to provide quality education in Architecture and Planning. The SPA’s
primarily offer undergraduate, post graduate, doctoral and executive education programs.

Each SPA is autonomous and exercise independent control over its day-to-day operations. However,
the administration of all SPAs and overall strategy of SPAs are overseen by the SPA council.
1.1.3 GOVERNMENT PROPOSAL FOR NEW SPA IN AURANGABD, MAHARASHTRA

In 2015, it was announced by the government to proposed fourth SPA in Aurangabad and the
architecture community has also lauded the provision of 10 crores made in the state budget towards
the SPA. The proposal will not the face of city but will make benefits for students pursing education in
Architectural field.

The SPA would not only benefit students from Marathwada and other parts of the state, but would also
attract candidates from across the country. Though since this topic is under issue that the SPA should
be planned in Pune city as it major city after Mumbai, but most of the Architectural Association are
under the favor of planning SPA in Aurangabad. And the process is still going on. The city of
Aurangabad will be the ideal site for setting up fourth SPA in India.
