Initially invited at Bearys Enviro Architecture Design School for a semester’s commitment to design a course curriculum based on VTU, Belgaum guidelines and a humungous task of setting up a vision for the newly started architectural design school, I further moved on to Srinivas School of Architecture to further experiment on the academic front. Using different pedagogical methods and understanding, I have created many student centric assignments and developed an interest and active participation from students towards understanding of theory subjects. My theory and experiments have been mainly applied for the subjects of History and Theory of Architecture. During this course of academic experience, I have dealt with students from First year to Final year guiding and encouraging them to further query and development of design thinking above and over to developing given syllabus understanding.
