In our endeavour for redefining the future, we are constantly reviewing conventional architectural modes, emerging research, and practices, thereby helping our students to evolve and develop a deep understanding of the field.”
Prof. Aparna Surve, Dean, NMIMS, BSSA, further added, “An architect must unite the construction process with artistic visualization, while also keeping the design practical and user-friendly.
