Ethos

ETHOS - 'THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNING THE FUTURE'

Inspired by "Architecture is the thoughtful making of space" - Louis Kahn, we at DSCA believe that thoughtful design is the driving principle of incremental innovation for the future. It's easy to equate "innovation" with "technology- led advancements", however we encourage not overlooking the smaller, incremental changes that advance and improve existing architectural techniques.

The key academic objectives which DSCA aims to develop are:

  • Critical Thinking : which creates the forward momentum needed to regenerate our world.
  • A focus on what's essential : the true essence lies in minimalism and emphasis on balanced yet sustained growth.
  • Enthusiastic Approach: architecture is a language carrying various dimensions and it's our responsibility to approach each dimension with great zeal.
