ARCH 10™ SEM ROLL NO:- 18 NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED STUDIES IN ARCHITECTURE (NIASA), PUNE = Manoharbhai Patel Institute of Engineering and Technology, GondiaNIASA National Institute for Advanced Studies in Architecture NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED STUDIES IN ARCHITECTURE (NIASA), THE ACADEMIC UNIT OF COUNCIL OF ARCHITECTURE, WAS INSTITUTED IN JULY 2005, AS THE FIRST INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTURE INITIATED JOINTLY BY THE COUNCIL OF ARCHITECTURE (COA) AND THE CENTRE FOR DEVELOPMENT STUDIES & ACTIVITIES (CDSA). IT IS A NATIONAL LEVEL INSTITUTE OF EXCELLENCE THAT FACILITATES ADVANCED RESEARCH IN THE VARIOUS FIELDS OF ARCHITECTURE, TO TEACHERS OF ARCHITECTURE, PROFESSIONALS AND INDIVIDUALS / STUDENTS. NIASA IS PRESENTLY OPERATING FROM PUNE, MAHARASHTRA, LOVINGLY CALLED THE OXFORD OF THE EAST. FUNCTIONS:- NIASA IS SET TO GROW IN FUNCTION AND STATURE AS PER THE GROWING DEMANDS OF STUDIES IN ARCHITECTURE. AT PRESENT, IT OPERATES FUNCTIONS IN FOLLOWING DIFFERENT AREAS: 1, RESEARCH IN ARCHITECTURE: THE EVER EVOLVING FACULTY OF ARCHITECTURE, IN ALL ITS VASTNESS, OFFERS LITTLE SCOPE OF PURSUING RESEARCH AT AN ADVANCED LEVEL, IN INDIA. NIASA HOPES TO SUPPLEMENT THE NEED FOR PROVIDING A FACILITY, AT A NATIONAL LEVEL, FOR SUCH RESEARCH. 2. TEACHER'S TRAINING PROGRAM (TTP): TARGETED AT THE RAPIDLY GROWING NUMBER OF TEACHERS IN SCHOOLS OF ARCHITECTURE IN INDIA, A SERIES OF TIPS, MADE MANDATORY FOR TEACHERS TO ATTEND AT SOME TIME OR ANOTHER, AIMS AT RAISING THE STANDARDS. OF TEACHING ARCHITECTURE. NEW METHODS AND TECHNIQUES, PERTINENT SUBJECTS, BOTH TECHNICAL AND THEORETICAL, ARE TO BE COVERED OVER THE WEEKS, IN 5 DAY PACKAGES, THAT WILL BRING THE BEST PRESENTERS AND THE MOST APPLICABLE SUBJECTS FROM THE LENGTH & BREADTH OF THE COUNTRY. 3. CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAM (CEP): SIMILAR IN STRUCTURE TO TIPS, BUT TARGETED TOWARDS PROFESSIONALS IN THE FIELD, INVOLVING NEW THEORIES AND. PRACTICES, TECHNICAL UPDATING, ETC. 4, ARCHITECTURE PUBLISHING CELL: TO SATIATE THE NEED FOR BOOKS AND JOURNALS IN ARCHITECTURE, THAT AT PRESENT ARE TOO LITTLE TO CONSTRUCTIVELY INVOLVE ARCHITECTS AND STUDENTS IN A CONTINUING LEARNING AND UPDATING PROCESS, COA IS IN THE PROCESS OF ORGANIZING SUCH ARTICLES AND THROUGH ITS PUBLICATION CELL ATNIASA 5. NATIONAL APTITUDE TEST IN ARCHITECTURE (NATA): IT IS A NATIONAL LEVEL ONLINE TEST WITH DRAWING EXAM, NECESSARY FOR ADMISSION TO 5 YEAR B.ARCH. COURSES AT ALL UNAIDED COLLEGES IN INDIA. WE HOPE THAT SOON, AIDED COLLEGES WILL ALSO BE ACCEPTING NATA SCORES FOR ADMISSION. 6, NATIONAL ELECTRONIC LIBRARY DATABASE: NIASA IS IN THE PROCESS OF COLLECTING LIBRARY INFORMATION FROM ALL THE VARIOUS ARCHITECTURAL COLLEGES OF INDIA. THIS DATA WILL BE ORGANIZED AND MADE AVAILABLE ONLINE TO ASSIST INDEPENDENT RESEARCHERS, STUDENTS, FACULTY AND EVEN PROFESSIONALS IN FINDING OUT EXACTLY WHERE A PARTICULAR SUBJECT MAY BE ACCESSED. 7. UPCOMING PROJECTS: DIGITAL DATABASE OF TEACHERS AND EXPERTS. ST () |NIASA, IN PUNE (LOVINGLY CALLED THE OXFORD OF THE EAST), IS A NATIONAL LEVEL INSTITUTE OF EXCELLENCE, OPERATED COMPLETELY BY COA. OBJECTIVES: 1) TO FACLITATE ADVANCED RESEARCH IN ARCHITECTURE & ITS ALLIED FIELDS TO ARCHITECTURAL RESEARCHERS, STUDENTS, EDUCATIONALISTS & PROFESSIONALS. 2) TO IMPART STRATEGIC TEACHER TRAINING, PROGRAMMES FOR THE 1200+ ARCHITECTURAL TEACHING FRATERNITY 3) TO GUIDE ARCHITECTURE COLLEGES TOWARDS BETTER QUALITY OF EDUCATION.

IT IS A NATIONAL LEVEL INSTITUTE OF EXCELLENCE THAT FACILITATES ADVANCED RESEARCH IN THE VARIOUS FIELDS OF ARCHITECTURE, TO TEACHERS OF ARCHITECTURE, PROFESSIONALS AND INDIVIDUALS / STUDENTS. FOR THIS NIASA IS IN TALKS WITH CDSA, RECOGNISED RESEARCH CENTER OF PUNE UNIVERSITY, IN OFFERING DOCTORAL AND POST-DOCTORAL LEVEL PROGRAMS. NIASA IS PRESENTLY OPERATING FROM THE PICTURESQUE CAMPUS OF CDSA, ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF PUNE, MAHARASHTRA, LOVINGLY CALLED THE OXFORD OF THE EAST. AIM AND OBJECTIVES:- «THE AIM OF THE RESEARCH PROJECT OF THE RURAL STUDIO IS TO EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITIES OF CREATING AN IMAGINATION OF DEVELOPMENT WHERE THE RURAL COMMUNITIES COULD PARTICIPATE EQUALLY IN THE PROCESS BY INVOLVING THEM. THE BENEFITS OF DEVELOPMENT SHOULD ALSO COME TO THEM. * THE OBJECTIVE WOULD BE TO STRENGTHEN THE IDENTITY OF THESE COMMUNITIES BY REINFORCING OR EVEN TRANSFORMING, IF REQUIRED, THEIR PRESENT ACTIVITY BASE AND. PREPARING A PLAN FOR THEIR DEVELOPMENT, SO THAT THEY CAN SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATE WITH THE URBAN. THIS COULD ALSO PROBABLY HELP TO CREATE A NEW IMAGINATION OF THE URBAN WHICH WOULD BE MORE SELF SUFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE. *TO ACHIEVE THIS IT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO WORK CLOSELY WITH THESE COMMUNITIES, COMPREHEND AND DOCUMENT THE NATURAL AND MANPOWER RESOURCES THEY POSSESS, THEIR PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT, THEIR IMMEDIATE CONTEXT, AND FINALLY HELP THEM TO PREPARE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVES. IT WOULD WORK AT VARIOUS LEVELS STARTING FROM HELPING THEM TO PREPARE A NEW ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEM, FOLLOWED BY NEW ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMS, EXPLORING THE USE OF RECENT AND RELEVANT TECHNOLOGIES TO CONSTRUCT AND ALSO HELP THEM PREPARE AREA LEVEL DEVELOPMENT PLANS. *THE OTHER AIM OF THE PROJECT WOULD BE TO DISSEMINATE THE FINDING OF THIS RESEARCH WITHIN A WIDER AUDIENCE (PUBLICATION). THUS, IT Is SUGGESTED THAT THIS PROJECT SHOULD BE CLOSELY DONE IN COLLABORATION WITH EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AT THE LOCAL LEVEL AND WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES. THIS WOULD HELP IN SUSTAINING THE EFFORT.
