The Master’s in Architecture in Housing Design (MHD) program is meant for architecture professionals aiming to acquire specialized expertise in the design of housing.
India is at the threshold of massive urbanization. There is a rapid influx of people moving to cities and its peripheral areas to benefit from availability of better economic opportunities and access to modern standards of living. This has led to an increased demand for housing which is further fuelled by the rising levels of household income. This has also led to a reimagination of the traditional housing types to more complex housing typologies that may include challenges of density, mix of uses, economic efficiency, climate response and technology.
