We are pleased to announce the setting up of a creative cluster at the Sushant University, which is envisioned to be an integration of the three schools: School of Art and Architecture, School of Design, and Department of Planning and Development.
The three creative schools are intrinsically linked elements of a single phenomenon- Design.
The integration works at multiple levels- philosophical, practice, and administrative, facilitating transdisciplinary, constructive, and barrier-free exchange of knowledge, experience, and skills.
Within this knowledge ecosystem, intriguing and innovative spill-over takes place when new ideas and technologies developed by one school are applied in other schools, and sometimes even outside the cluster in a wider education sector and design industry.
Thus, the creative cluster aims to be an educational and cultural melting pot, with a huge potential for the sector, industry, and profession. The fundamentals that drive the cluster schools are Creativity, Innovation, and Engagement.
“The School of Design works on the principle of creative innovation for enriched living environment.”
Design is a profession that blurs the boundaries between many traditional disciplines and areas. In other words, it is a field in which skills from multiple areas are brought together, synthesized through the design development process and solutions arrived at, which aim to solve problems that exist in our midst. The School of Design is being run by a very able team of experts with rich experience in both academia as well as the industry. Drawn from alumni of premier design institutions in India and abroad namely NID,IIT, CEPT, SPA, Delhi University, Domus Academy Milan and many more.
Apart from the full time faculty, the school also draws a large number of visiting faculty and industry experts for regular interaction with students, in the form of workshops, lectures, projects, seminars as well as field trips. In all, the students get a strong base in conceptual thinking, technical skills and professional attitude through their interaction with faculty.
