Abstract
This study investigates the pedagogic relevance of art and design schools that have had major influences on schools of architecture in India. The data presented is a culmination of literature review of published articles and papers and analysis of curriculum. The curriculum of top ten architecture schools as ranked by NIRF in 2020 are considered here as representative of what is largely being taught in schools of India. The conclusion of the study establishes the prevalent influences of pedagogy of art and design schools, subjects that have gained importance and vice versa, and their relevance to the future.
