Shelter has been one of the primary needs of living species even the birds & bees have comfortable &safe shelters of their own. Architecture has been in existence since prehistoric times along with cave art. The great civilizations are known due to their immortal monuments & the imagery of nations is identified with buildings. Man is not satisfied with mere comfortable & safe shelter but always seeks something more aesthetically satisfying. Being the basic need as long as mankind is thriving, architects are bound to prosper. Even in the coming computer age, architects have a bright future ahead of them, because though the computer can perform complex calculation & repetitive tasks, it cannot be creative. Hence perceptive people, especially those with an ability to visualize and design for an updated reality are going to be in great demand in the new millennium. In addition to the traditional architectural practice new avenues of employment like art direction and set design ,virtual reality, web designing, product design, facilities and construction management, landscaping and environment planning are opening up for architects .

Sinhgad Institute of Architecture & design studies has been founded with the objective of bringing forth well-educated, informed and motivated architects equipped with ultramodern skills, who can contribute towards building a humane society by taking up the task of visualizing and designing for the human habitat with confidence and integrity. It is our primary objective to ensure the highest level of academic standards along with the spirit of creativity and growth in every individual. It is the endeavor of this institute to establish and nurture a heaven of academic excellence, creativity and personality development in which the budding architects can thrive. Thus we encourage our students to look at the world beyond mere academics by providing a wider exposure through a series of guest lectures and workshops by experts in architecture and related fields. Perceptual sketching and workshop practice on one-hand and computer skills on the other are especially emphasized.

Architecture is an all-encompassing discipline and thus the education of an architect cannot be effectively accomplished in isolation from other related arts, crafts and sciences. The Sinhgad Technical Education Society already runs Polytechnic, Engineering, Management and Pharmacy colleges along with the Architecture College. It is proposed to start departments of Graphic arts, Interior Design, Product Design and Fashion Design that would ultimately form components of an institute of design. This will ensure synergistic development of all disciplines together
