Principal's Message

Gopalan School of Architecture and Planning, established in 2014, is an endeavour by the Gopalan Foundation to offer quality education in a diverse environment that meets global demands. Education has changed tremendously in recent times and has seen remarkable growth. In particular, the move towards interdisciplinary studies and interactive learning has opened up several options and created multiple challenges. India has a massive population of young people seeking higher education; hence, there is a need and scope to offer excellent education. GSAP has established a strong reputation in the field of architecture education and practice, through diverse projects and teaching pedagogy.

The school offers integrated learning to students through cutting-edge software, live demonstrations, site visits to ongoing projects, and community outreach projects that inculcate social, economic, and cultural values. The vertical studios allow peer learning and bonding between students of various semesters. The certification programmes and hands-on workshops provide experiential learning. Students are fortunate to receive diverse skill-set training from the various specialised schools of the Gopalan Foundation.

The faculty team of GSAP comprises distinguished professionals and academicians from diverse specialisations who are proactive in research, practice, and academia. The faculty motivate students to achieve their goals in all streams of learning. With all these facilities and the continuous support of the management and faculty team, I am confident that students will be ready to face future challenges and will go on to become successful professionals.
