>> INTRODUCTION



Aim:

  • Not to provide education to get mere degrees but to mould students into future architects.
  • We make students learn & practice architecture.
  • We are opposed to the idea of having architecture as one among many other courses in a     college and the least concentrated by the management.
  • In our college it is only architecture and everything is architecture.

    •

    Mission:

  • To contribute in improving human habitat by sharing knowledge and experience and by evolving     design alternatives for a sustainable living.

    •  

    Vision:

  • The vision of the institution is to cause generation of new ideas which are region specific but     contemporary in nature.

  • Ideas which are not only original and creative but also sustainable.

  • Ideas which reflect the culture of the place, but able to contribute in making of civilization ideas     which shall identify to a place but be in harmony with given socio-economic situation.

    • The School of Architecture will:

    • Educate its students for effective practice in architecture.
    • Supplement sound training by nurturing the whole person within an understanding of architecture as a broad humanistic and scientific discipline.
    • Produce leaders able to meet the demands of a changing profession, and whose technical skills will be complemented by personal vision, ethical persuasiveness and entrepreneurial drive.
    The School of Architecture is committed to the values of:
    • cooperation and communication
    • creativity and innovation
    • community service and leadership
    • pursuit of excellence
    • public accountability
    • diversity
    • design for sustainability

    Reason for choosing Ooty:


     Environmentally appropriate designs alone can lead to sustainable development. Ooty offers perfect natural settings for future architects to get sensitized to mother nature and its endowments.

    The landscape formed by landform, water bodies, trees and plants and the climate of Ooty shall give unique opportunity to the students to design with nature, and make them globally acceptable.  The students trained at McGAN'S Ooty School of Architecture, shall have cutting edge over the architects trained elsewhere in the southern Asian region for their ability to respond to geo-climatic conditions of a place.
