| Architectural education has always been critical since it has a direct implication on architectural practise. The ever changing demands of practise have significant criticism on the way architecture curriculum is handled across institutions. In recent years, the relevance of conducting Urban Design studios at the architecture under-graduate level has drawn wide attention. This paper discusses the importance of the Urban Design studios in the context of architectural education in India and how it builds up resource for architectural education. The author stresses the importance of Urban design studios in architectural education and also has documented various methods of conducting the urban design studio with respect to the overarching issue concerning each studio project. For this, six urban Design studios conducted at the Under-Graduate level were considered for further evaluation. The paper also brings in various aspects of the studio, its limitations, relevance, learnings and challenges that can be drawn to conduct similar studios to improve overall architectural education in the Indian context. | ||||
