Architecture is the creation of human environments. It coalesces the humanities and the sciences manifesting itself in designing of form, space and order. Architecture is situated in the expression of human values and provides the context for human activities.

The student of Architecture is called upon to approach with sensitivity, intellect and imagination interrelated socio-economic, environmental, material, behavioral and cultural conditions through the design process and evolve a pre meditated problem solving approach.

The Faculty of Architecture conceives of Architecture as a discipline as well as profession. It is committed to a concern for human values and for finding appropriate roles for architecture in society.

The Faculty aims at moulding young creative minds into sensitive professionals who are competent to negotiate social complexities, environmental pressures, cultural tensions.

SES primarily being an Educational Institute, teachers are the torch bearers in all the activities and programmes of the Society. It shall be my endeavour to involve all worthy teachers in the ventures of SES with a view to enhance the image of SES and make its presence profoundly felt not only within the region but also in National & International educational arenas.

I also strongly believe that we need to make sincere attempts to reach out to the policy makers, Industrial organizations to give our valuable inputs/services on many important policy issues/training programmes. This can be possible only when each one contributes his/her might as experts in the field. Equally significant is the initiative to recognize the young graduates as it is they who are the future leaders of tomorrow. We shall make efforts to seek their greater contribution in the activities of the society.

Like any good educational institute, SES take the responsibility of shaping the future of business and society by developing good human resources with putting focus on primary to secondary to tertiary and further into research by fulfilling academic needs of over 35000+ students of this region.

I look forward to your suggestions and guidance for all inputs that lead to the continuing progress of SES. I wish you all a great success in all endeavours in the years to come.

Let us carry out transition from Teaching to Learning.

Our aim is to motivate the students for a quality learning process through a well structured exploration of fundamental knowledge of Architecture.

Since architecture is a dialogue between aesthetics, cultures, technology and functionality, we aspire to sensitise students’ faculties, sharpen their observations and perceptions through exposition to hands on skills and various subjects ranging from Architectural Design, Building technologies to Humanities. Our students develop a passion for architecture, respecting and supporting diverse design attitudes. We emphasise and encourage critical thinking and reward visionary concepts reinforcing creative discovery.

The Faculty constantly endeavors to review the Academic programmes in the curricula to keep abreast of changing trends and disciplines in tandem with aspirations of society.

With rapid urbanization, an ever increasing requirement of professionals in Construction and management, Designing and Planning, is assured. Therein also lies the potential for architects to develop into successful entrepreneurs.

Our strength lies in pleasant environment in the heart of Surat city, excellent infrastructure facilities, qualified and practicing faculty and a deep commitment to developing socially responsible graduates who can meet the challenges of their profession.

The Faculty of Architecture has a policy to impact positively policy makers and the general public with an active and widely recognized SRDC providing consultancy services. The Faculty of Architecture is thus working to create a meaningful impact in society and the built environment.

I am confident that with the support of my committed team and enthusiastic students we shall continue to better the architectural language of the built environment.
