Abstract
Identifying right tools and techniques to be used for design education remains a challenge for architectural education in India. The study presented in this paper is part of author’s ongoing research on design-build studios. Various unresolved issues related to skills and intellect of an architect, demand new pedagogical models to be introduced in the existing pattern. Through observations, experience and literature, easily observable is the lacuna, that the graduates entering the field of architecture find it difficult to relate their design and construction education and real world practice. This paper also proposes specific means for bringing this gap in Indian scenarios of Architectural education. Results of questionnaires responded by several practicing architects and architecture students are presented.
