Chairman Message
Director’s Message
It is my pleasure to cherish my decade long association with the Indo Global family which has set up the College of Architecture, in a 54 Acres sprawling campus of Indo Global Education City in the lush green and serene surroundings in the foothills of Shivaliks with potential to become another Shantiniketan.
As we all know, in this scenario of globalised world, India is on the path of soon becoming a fully developed country and there is rapid growth of infrastructure, the buildings, roads, bridges and in the field of industry and various technologies. During the last few decades, awareness about the profession of Architecture and the role and importance of Architects in the process of Nation Building have been greatly appreciated and recognized by the society and the government.
In such a scenario Architects are expected to play a pivotal role not only as merely building designers but also as creators of a beautiful, holistic and sustainable living system. Thus the role of Architects is now extended and diversified to include specialized disciplines of planning, landscape, energy efficiency, renewable resources, environmental design, urban design, conservation, interior design and infrastructural and structural design as well.
Since Architecture is considered the mother of all arts. An Architect is expected to be a holistic person possessing sufficient understanding, knowledge and sensitivity towards Literary, visual and performing arts i.e Poetry, Painting, Sculpture, Dance, Drama and Music and above all a true lover of nature.
We, at Indo Global College of Architecture, transform the young minds to become very creative and holistic Architects fully imbibed with human values and professional ethics and eager to serve the society and live a happy and healthy life.

Director
