Facilities and Eligibility Criteria for Architecture Programmes

Architecture Research Cell

In 2015, IDEA launched a research cell. It supports the instructional strategy and is mainly concerned with the overall growth of students in terms of construction materials, technology, and professional practice. To encourage students to view architecture as more than merely creating places, we introduce students to architecture's cultural and demographic significance through emerging trends with many national and international agencies. The IDEA Research Cell also serves to record, explain, and synthesize the results of such research endeavors and occasionally publishes them.
