The Faculty of Architecture at Dr. M.G.R. Educational and Research Institute recently hosted a Faculty Development Program (FDP) aimed at strengthening academic excellence and enhancing teaching practices in the field of architecture.
The session, led by Ar. Swetha Sekhar and Ar. Karpaga Priya, provided a platform for faculty members to explore innovative approaches to pedagogy, curriculum design, and knowledge-sharing. With their rich expertise, the speakers emphasized the importance of adapting teaching methodologies to meet the evolving needs of students and the profession.
The program encouraged active discussion on how architecture education can balance creativity, technology, and critical thinking. It also highlighted ways to integrate new tools, interdisciplinary learning, and real-world perspectives into the classroom, ensuring that future architects are equipped to face the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
By fostering collaboration and innovation, the FDP reinforced the institution’s commitment to nurturing not just students, but also the educators who guide them. Programs like these reflect the Faculty of Architecture’s vision of continuous growth — where teaching becomes as transformative as the discipline of architecture itself.
