From Principal Desk 

“Thinking by Doing” is not just our motto—it is the essence of our approach to architectural education.

Welcome to SAL School of Architecture, a place where creativity, innovation, and critical thinking converge to shape the architects of tomorrow. Since its establishment in 2014, the School has been committed to nurturing aspiring minds through a holistic and hands-on approach to architectural education.

Architecture, as a discipline, demands not only technical proficiency but also imagination, empathy, and a deep understanding of culture, environment, and society. At SAL, we believe that meaningful learning happens through doing—through drawing, building, researching, and exploring the world around us. Our curriculum is designed to balance strong academic foundations with practical exposure. With one full semester dedicated to professional training, students gain real-world insights that prepare them for the demands of the profession.

Our faculty team is a blend of experienced academicians and practicing professionals who mentor students in a studio-based, collaborative environment. We encourage open dialogue, experimentation, and the freedom to question conventions—essentials for design thinking and innovation.

Located in the culturally rich and architecturally significant city of Ahmedabad, our lush, green campus offers an inspiring setting for creative growth. Equipped with well-designed studios, workshops, labs, and learning spaces, the School supports a vibrant academic life where students thrive both personally and professionally.

Beyond academics, we emphasize values such as sustainability, inclusivity, and community engagement. Our students are trained to think globally while acting locally—sensitive to the nuances of place, people, and purpose.

As Principal, it is my endeavor to ensure that every student at SAL School of Architecture is empowered to explore their full potential. We aim to shape not just architects, but responsible citizens who can contribute meaningfully to society.

I invite you to join us in this journey of learning, discovery, and transformation.
