Architecture can be defined as the art and science of designing buildings and other physical structures. An amalgamation of creativity and technology, architecture requires both mathematical proficiency, technical skills and artistic ability.

Architecture is also influenced by various factors such as the environment, society, technology and art.

The Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.) programme, offered by CMR University – School of Architecture, Bangalore, is strong in the
fundamentals of architectural theory and practice, and responds to the changing definitions of architecture in the Indian and global contexts.
