India’s educational institutions are embracing a new era of infrastructure development, focusing on sustainability and technology. A growing emphasis on sustainability is central to India’s future educational infrastructure-proofing. As architects and designers, we must integrate green spaces and sustainable practices on campuses to promote biodiversity and reduce environmental impact. In an exclusive for Commercial Design India on #WorldArchitectureDay, I explain as the demands of education evolve, so must the environments where students learn, fostering adaptive, efficient, and forward-thinking spaces. For instance, our redevelopment of Delhi University’s North Campus showcases how modern campuses in India are embracing sustainability. The project incorporates ample green spaces, water conservation measures, and sustainable materials, aligning with the country’s vision for eco-friendly educational spaces. These designs foster a sustainable coexistence between built structures and natural surroundings, creating campuses that reflect inclusivity and ecological balance for the future.

With modern educational architecture, designing effective campus environments requires a strategic blend of sustainability, functionality, and community-centric spaces. Each element plays a pivotal role in shaping a conducive atmosphere for learning, fostering holistic development, and promoting well-being among students, faculty, and staff. Design innovations are essential for creating vibrant and inclusive educational ecosystems. The seamless integration of sustainability with functional design is paramount in modern educational architecture as it supports academic pursuits and enhances the overall quality of life and engagement within the campus community. In an exclusive piece for Commercial Design India, I explain how good design principles themselves encourage innovative and creative thinking. By incorporating design thinking into the university environment, universities can create spaces that spark new ideas and collaboration among students and faculty. Beyond academic facilities, designing campus environments that prioritise vibrant community spaces is essential. These spaces serve as focal points for social interaction, cultural exchange, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Building Schools in the Heart of the City How do you tackle the challenges of designing schools in densely populated urban areas? With limited land, noisy surroundings, and accessibility hurdles, educational spaces still need to meet modern demands while inspiring students and parents alike. One solution: building upwards. By organising vertical structures into silos for different age groups, we create smaller, close-knit student communities within the campus. These silos enhance efficiency, reduce circulation time, and establish unique zones with dedicated facilities, open spaces, and distinct identities.

Rapid urbanisation and limited space availability is presenting numerous challenges and load on the cities’ infrastructure. The significant rise in built-up areas in metropolitan cities like Bangalore coupled with a drastic fall in water spread areas and vegetation has led to severe environmental issues, including a water crisis. However, innovative design strategies can address these challenges effectively. Building upwards while maintaining functionality and open spaces, navigating stringent development regulations, creating internal volumes for visual openness, and incorporating nature into the urban fabric are crucial approaches. By creatively tackling these design challenges, we can create urban environments that are not only functional and efficient but also conducive to the well-being of residents and the environment.

Twenty-two Indian cities house more than 16,500 people per kilometer–among the most densely populated cities in the world. With more than half of India’s population projected to live in urban areas by 2050, urban environments in India will only be getting denser. In such a context, building educational institutions away from the cities would deprive the vast majority of the population of accessing quality education. Moving schools and other educational institutes away from the cities is not an option–we need to look at ways of designing them within our cities, tackling the challenges of urban density creatively.

Indian Architecture Education in Transition At the heart of India’s architectural legacy lies Chandigarh, envisioned by Le Corbusier and celebrated by Shri. Jawaharlal Nehru as a symbol of modern India’s aspirations. Icons like B.V. Doshi, Charles Correa, Achyut Kanvinde, Raj Rewal, Laurie Baker and many other prominent architects shaped India’s unique architectural identity, blending modernist principles with cultural heritage. Today, projects like the redevelopment of Delhi’s Central Vista reaffirm architecture's role in nation-building. Under the vision of Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi, the Central Vista redevelopment, led by architect Bimal Patel, is transforming the nation's administrative heart. However, despite architecture’s transformative potential, a steady decline in student interest in the field threatens its future. Factors such as shifting career aspirations, economic considerations, outdated curricula, and limited global mobility have contributed to this trend. Yet, architecture remains pivotal in addressing challenges like urbanization, sustainability, and climate change. To revitalize the profession, we must: #Reform curricula with emerging technologies, sustainability, and interdisciplinary approaches. #Foster global collaborations and hybrid learning models to broaden perspectives. #Enhance financial accessibility through scholarships and support measures. #Promote architecture's opportunities to inspire new talent, from heritage conservation to urban design. #Empower statutory bodies to modernize standards, align Indian programs with global benchmarks, and enable pathways for international licensure. With collective efforts from academia, industry, policymakers, and statutory bodies, architecture in India can reclaim its vibrancy, honouring its storied past while illuminating a sustainable and inclusive future. #architecture #India #education #nationbuilding #wayahead #directives
