Architecture : From Imagination to Reality

"One of the great beauties of architecture is that each time, it is like life starting all over again." – Renzo Piano

The inception of the idea of architecture in a student who is fresh out of school is that of buildings and spaces. But as rightly stated by Architect Renzo Piano, Life begins again, ideas, chance and perceptions alter as they step into the new life of being architecture students. 

Architecture is an exciting, demanding and rewarding field where one witnesses the materializing of their imagination. The simple yet unparalleled ability to visualize and manifest ideas where people lead their lives is a blessing not many individuals get the fortune of experiencing. 

As an Architect myself and an educator with an experience of many years, I have seen generations of architects learn and grow. The fact that I am associated with IPS Academy’s School of Architecture has given me an inside look into the lives of students, transforming from being rough in their concepts to professionals with amazing capabilities and bright futures. The 26 years that IPSA has spent nourishing futures is a fete unparalleled. Our belief - Imagination to Reality -  is what we strive to help students achieve in life. The simple act of perseverance is a quality of this institute which makes us stand out. 

During these unprecedented times of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the world is limited to their homes, and the times are changing. Conventional education is morphing and our old ways are being improved and tested with technology. The fact that this institute has the vision of being prepared with the necessary means to convey and share knowledge with the students at such a time as well is an extraordinary achievement. 

Making the most of what we are presented with, working hard towards our goals and moving with a steady pace and disciplined manner has been ingrained in our minds. The teachings of our guru, Dr. G.V Kulkarni are what motivates us to move towards a better future. 

One of the most important aspects of a student’s education is the resources which provide them with the necessary knowledge and help build their future. SOA, IPS Academy’s focus on providing the students with a roadmap to their success includes great infrastructure, facilities and resource centers. It is the place where students turn into responsible architects, and so the infrastructure is created and maintained to provide them with impeccable facilities. 

Excellence is a habit and believing in that is instilled in us and our students. Truly being focused and yet experimental, our students bring several accolades each year. They make us proud. Having the honour of being a part of the IPSA family, we - educators and the students - combine our efforts to bring in laurels.
