About Us
Architecture has been playing an integral role in the lives of mankind since ancient times. The Parthenon of Greece, the Pantheon of Rome, the Pyramids of Egypt, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Sancta Sophia of Istanbul, the Taj Mahal of India, etc., are marvels of Architecture inherited by us from old civilizations.

This history is still remembered by us and studied by our students to draw on the essence applied to the functions and spaces which shape and form our edifices today. The profession of Architecture is a blend of Arts and Technology contributing to life and growth in the urban and rural environment. The quest for super shelters in society invites a quality design demand to be achieved faster, higher, stronger. Hence, points move to make lines; lines move to make planes; planes move to make and enclose spaces – this is Architecture.

All this has inspired the L.K. Memorial Charitable Trust to set up the Mysore School of Architecture (MSA) with full-fledged infrastructure facilities and amenities. An astute, experienced and dedicated faculty has been invited to teach at Mysore School of Architecture.

Architecture is a way of life.
Frank Lloyd Wright
