ABOUT CSA:

Creative School Of Architecture

Legendary artist, sculptor, painter, ceramist, stage designer, poet and playwright Pablo Picasso had famously said, “Every child is an artist, the problem is staying an artist when you grow up”, pointing out how the driver for creativity and innovation is innate in every human being, and how ignoring this can dim these capabilities as children grow up and enter the real world.

At Sasi Creative School of Architecture, it is our endeavor to kindle and nurture this innate creativity. In fact, the operative word at CSA is ‘Creative’. We subscribe to the idea that creativity is the single factor that distinguishes the leader from the herd. What we seek to do is bring creativity into play as part of the learning process. It involves two processes: thinking, then producing.

Innovation is the production or implementation of an idea. If you have ideas, but don’t act on them, you are imaginative but not creative. For the process of bringing something new into being, creativity requires both passion and commitment.

Architecture is not only about big buildings, complex designs and implementation of plans. It is also about aesthetics. It iss about bringing creativity and innovation into play. It is about looking at space as a canvas on which you create a work of art. Today, the division of knowledge and expertise between the fields of architecture and engineering that served so well in the industrial age is passé. The digital age calls for resources that bring in creative contact between design and research across fields and disciplinary boundaries. In fact, digital age practices demands flexibility and enterprise that takes the field of architecture into newer and more challenging areas.

The exchange of knowledge is now taking at a rapid pace thanks to the digital revolution and in this new scenario, architecture students need to move faster and be smarter. Apart from being able to use the latest tools, they also need to learn about adapting to a rapidly changing work environment.
