Architecture

Hello,
The scope is only formed by the candidate. Out of the given two fields, wherever your interest lies scope is there. To have more insights, you need to first understand about both of these streams:
(#) Commercial Architecture: It involves planning, design and construction management of commercial and retail facilities which require attention of functionality, flexibility and costs. These days, it becomes slightly difficult to expand the horizons of commercial architecture. Local authorities commonly maintain strict regulations on commercial zoning and have the authority to designate any zoned area as such. A business must be located in a commercial area, or area zoned at least partially for commerce.
(#) Urban Planning: This leads you to more sophisticated path. Jobs where your degree would be useful include: civil service administrator, community development worker, environmental manager, landscape architecture, planning and development surveys, and (or) sustainability consultant.

To understand this, you need to do the comparison between the past and current methodologies. Earlier, the colleges in India used to teach architecture with less number of tools because the industry was not flourished at that time. But now, there is the introduction of new methods, new techniques in the teaching stream of architecture.
Now, students are able to get real time live projects of the companies to enhance their class room learning. In the field of architecture, the companies and industries are flourishing because of two reasons - The huge investment in this sector and the merging of foreign companies with the Indians.

The field of architecture has evolved greatly over the years. A decade ago, the tools, approach and the method of application of the knowledge in architecture schools was very different from what we have today. Earlier the maps and designs were made with the use geometrical tools whereas in the current scenario, the use of computer software makes it easier. In short, technology has widened the scope and approach. Hence accordingly, there have been many additions to the syllabus and course structure. The entire programme has been given more practical approach. The primer institutions are also modifying their syllabus to suit the current industry demands. The placements have become more systematic and more talent based as now with the help of technology students are able to present more realistic projects and get better placements and better packages.
