DESCRIPTION :

Approved by AICTE.
Ranganathan Architecture College was established during the academic year 2010 ? 2011 with an intake of 40 students with a vision to bring the education with technological innovations of the 21st century to the students of the most common and bottom line social groups to become competent architects to address the issues at various levels¸ in different aspects of human habitat and environment.

ARCHITECTURE is the art and science of designing buildings.
Building first evolved out of the dynamics between needs (shelter¸ security¸ worship¸ etc.) and means (available building materials and attendant skills).
As human cultures developed and knowledge began to be formalized through oral traditions and practices¸ building became a craft¸ and Architecture is the name given to the most highly formalized and respected versions of that craft.
A wider definition would include within its scope the design of the total built environment¸ from the macro level of town planning¸ urban design¸ and landscape architecture to the micro level of furniture.

Architecture is a multi-disciplinary field¸ including within its fold mathematics¸ science¸ art¸ technology¸ social sciences¸ politics¸ history¸ philosophy¸ and so on. In Vitruvius' words¸ "Architecture is a science¸ arising out of many other sciences¸ and adorned with much and varied learning: by the help of which a judgement is formed of those works which are the result of other arts".
