The Sir JJ Campus History & Legacy Established in 1857, Sir JJ School of Art has pioneered Art, Architecture and Design education and practice in India. It was named after Sir Jamshedjee Jeejeebhoy, the first Baronet from India, who had generously donated Rupee 100,000 for its establishment. The campus boasts nine acres of space and has been recognised by the government of India as a heritage campus. Since then, all the schools at JJ have established a proven track record of setting domain-specific standards for the past 160 years. Located in the prime location of South Mumbai, all three schools of JJ rest at the single heritage campus, recognized worldwide as the Sir JJ Art Campus.

The first drawing class at the School began on March 2, 1857. In 1866, the management of the school was taken over by the Government of India. Three ateliers were set up in 1865: (i) Decorative Paintings, (ii) Modelling, and (iii) Ornamental Wrought Iron Work. Drawing instruction was introduced as a subject in 1879, and a training programme for drawing teachers began in 1893. The Department of Art-Crafts was founded in 1891. The School of Architecture offered its first course in 1900. The Draughtsman’s classes, which formed the foundation of the Department of Architecture, were added in 1896. The Sir George Clarke Studies and Laboratories were built in 1910 for the advanced study of crafts, starting with pottery. A decade after Indian independence, the Departments of Architecture and Applied Art had been renamed the ‘Sir J. J. College of Architecture’ and the ‘Sir J. J. Institute of Applied Art’ respectively. In 1981, the School became affiliated with the University of Mumbai. Over the years the institution has nurtured students into becoming pioneers in their respective fields. They continue to bring glory to JJ to this day. Most practising creative leaders in art, architecture and design have walked on these hallowed grounds. The Nobel prize winner, Sir Rudyard Kipling, was born on the campus. The institution prides itself on producing alumni who have proved their mettle: from India’s first Oscar award winner to India’s first Pritzker’s award (the highest award in architecture). Our students have bagged about sixteen Padma awards, our nation’s premier civilian award honouring the brightest stars in their field. The alumni of our school have also helped in founding Institutions of National importance and international repute such as the National Institute of Design (NID), the Industrial Design Centre (IIT-B), the Center for Environmental Planning and Technology, the Indian Institute of Architects, the Council of Architecture, the National Association of Students of Architecture and so on. Needless to say, excellence is the bedrock of all three schools (Art, Architecture and Applied Art) on the JJ campus!

Restructuring Current Schools for De Novo It is in the best interests of the country for the three schools to merge to form a university in their historic setting. To mark this monumental shift, we have put forth an ambitious vision and mission for the next chapter of JJ and are determined to materialize it.
13
Confidential
The Vision: To transform the creative education ecosystem by providing inclusive, interdisciplinary and sustainable design education and nurturing new generations of art and design professionals, and, while acknowledging diversity and the individual voice, humanizing design in the service of society.
The Mission: 1. To allow new and alternate ways of seeing to flourish, bringing in humanistic and sustainable change through art, architecture and design. 2. To facilitate contemporary art and design education through the appreciation of critical theories in the classroom and the innovation in the design studio, from thought and process to production. 3. To understand the world we live in, to appreciate and address through empathetic design, its various concerns through the rigorous development of new design research processes. 4. To actively seek out and develop collaborative practices with academic and research institutes, with artists and design professionals around the world, to become a significant change-maker in the art, design and research ecosystem.

In a new multidisciplinary university, all three schools hope to integrate their combined expertise and specialisations. The proposed institutional reorganization will look like: 1. School of Art 2. School of Architecture (currently known as Sir JJ College of Architecture) 3. School of Design (currently known as Sir JJ Institute of Applied Art) 4. Proposed Department of Humanities
Along with the proposed Humanities School, we will develop a groundbreaking, cutting-edge Art, Architecture, and Design curriculum that will be unique to the country. The curriculum that adheres to the National Education Policy’s liberal agenda will be honoured in all the programs offered by the new university. The programs offered by the Sir JJ School of Art, Architecture & Design (De Novo, deemed to be university):

Curricula for De Novo The Curricula for De Novo demonstrate the core values of JJ as an institution based on the vision and mission that we have set out to achieve. Our Core Values: 1. Inter-disciplinary 2. Inter-sectionally 3. Individuality 4. Sustainability 5. Humanism 6. Diversity 7. Liberality 8. Inclusiveness 9. Empathy 10. Excellence 11. Acountability 12. Transparency
The curriculum follows the choice-based credit system, which allows students to take advantage of all courses on offer, irrespective of the program they have enrolled in. This, by design, allows different programs to collaborate as students and professors to come together in a diverse classroom!

Course Structure In keeping with the new National Education Policy, this program is developed with a set of ‘holistic and multidisciplinary objectives’, developing capacities ‘across the arts, humanities, languages, sciences, social sciences and professional fields.’ This has guided the creation of a course structure that is largely student-driven (using studios and choice-based courses in the program and interprogram). The choice making options shall empower a student to evolve their own vertical arcs of learning, while making horizontal connections across courses at the same level. The 4-semester, 2-year program prepares students for a variety of leadership roles, in architecture, planning, design, education, fine arts, academics, journalism, doctoral research and practice. Each semester, the students are expected to complete at least 3 core courses which includes a research course, 1 studio project and at least 2-4 elective courses per semester. In the latter, they have an array of choices between electives offered by the program. To avail the best of the resources that J.J. has to offer, the students must explore a minimum of 1 course offered by other programs at the institute each semester. In the final semester, the students will be completing a Capstone Project and a Dissertation of their interest with the help of a guide.

Types of Courses: There are different types of courses in the program. Some are mandated while others are chosen by the students.
Core Courses:
These courses are mandated by the program. All students who have enrolled for the program must take them. Within them, there are two further tracks designed for the benefit of the students. a. Research Core: These are subjects that are necessary to build the research skills of the students, from academic citations, to consumer analysis. Though the students study their chosen program, these are critical skills applicable in any creative process. b. Studio: The Studio project is a purely practical-based course where students have to demonstrate their learning with proposed outcomes.
Elective Courses:
These are courses that students can choose to take from a list offered by the program each semester. There are two kinds of electives offered: a. Choice-based (within program): These are courses that are offered by the School of the program that that could be of interest to the student. b. Choice-based (outside program): These are courses that are offered by other programs run by JJ School of Arts, Architecture and Design. 19

Introduction to the Program Sir JJ School of Art is well-known for developing many traditional art schools. As we enter a new era, it is only appropriate that we introduce contemporary art practises as a programme. The programme will cover the recent past, the present, and the near future. The course will cover technological advances in relation to art practises and will push the envelope even further. The dynamics of the art market have shifted, paving the way for a more democratic market. A global perspective was required, and this course seeks to meet that need. Artists can think beyond the limitations of today’s galleries and gallerists. New careers in the arts are emerging. Institutional and commercial contexts are fluid, and the Indian artist must be flexible. The course structure will incorporate critical thinking and professional skill. Students will be guided by practising artists, leading technocrats, and master marketers through a carefully designed course that combines theory and practise. The course will conclude with a work exhibition. MFA programme in the School of Arts and Humanities that is guided by a critical approach to the creation and reception of art, where theory and practise collide to form new ways of responding to the contemporary world. The programme encourages the growth of your art practise within a responsive, dialogical, and critical context, with a focus on larger social issues.

Introduction to the Program The Master of Art Education is a two-year master’s degree programme that leads to a professional teaching qualification in the field of art education. As an art graduate, the master’s programme will allow you to apply your practise in a professional teaching context. The student will have developed an integrated understanding and appreciation of the unique qualities of an art education by the end of the course. They will have demonstrated your ability to function as an educator in a variety of settings and contexts. The application of their own art and design practises, insights, and modes of learning will be transformed to cater to teaching requirements. The course is designed to help the student grow personally, socially, intellectually, and practically to prepare them for a professional career as a teacher. It also aims to develop the necessary skills and dispositions of research, analysis, evaluation, and critique to enable them to become a reflective practitioner. To that end, they will gain a theoretical as well as a practical understanding of key teaching and learning processes. The School of Education operates on the premise that art teacher education is not primarily concerned with teaching art or teaching about art, but rather with teaching through art. Across the programme, there is a strong emphasis on exploring a variety of visual art processes and contemporary art practise through practical workshops in a studio setting. In the two years, the student-teacher will be able to critically map their work as educators and artists to the current pedagogical shifts in postsecondary art education using influential teaching and learning practises that have been introduced. 35

Sir JJ School of Architecture

Introduction to the Program With the knowledge and background of the Sir JJ School, its location in the heart of Mumbai, and its influential legacy on the architectural development of the city, this program is conceived to address Mumbai’s architectural fabric in an integrated manner, with the concept of the metropolis as its focus. In the present age of the Anthropocene, with the inevitable impact of climate change on our urban futures, and its resulting consequences on urban life and processes, this course is introduced to fill a gap in our understanding of the metropolis after two decades into the millennium. Our increasing polarities indicate that last century canons can no longer be relied upon to tackle the increasing polarities in our changing urban lives. That is why this program aims to provide students with the literacy to think about and imagine the metropolis and the architecture that forms the defining armature for its rise. This literacy extends to several levels of scale that drive the formation of the architecture of big cities. Students shall also develop the capacity to design at multiple scales from street furniture to planning insertions in the city. Any metropolis is layered and forms juxtapositions of dichotomies. There is an acceptance that a metropolitan architecture of the future shall be largely brownfield and be influenced in equal manner by unintegrated legislation as well as common-law practice. The program fundamentally positions the metropolis as messy, as part of the real world and not a location for idealised (or hypothetical) design. Such an approach is necessarily inclusive, keeping on an equal platform the mainstream, the large-scale and the monumental, along with self-help practices and the ephemeral as everyday building processes.
45
Confidential
All architecture in the metropolis needs to be seen together, and not in silos, and is to be appreciated as a synthesis of forces that all play at the metropolitan scale. An ongoing pursuit of this program shall be to chart the habitational and constructional processes related with metropolitan life. The historicity of the metropolis (how it has come to be) shall be a key discussion in the envisioning of new material infusion or design thinking. The focus shall be on the architecture of the city rather than on urban planning, filling a lacuna to be addressed through research and pedagogy. Thus, the central space to be addressed shall be the middle ground between plotted architecture and urban planning, a transformative space where architecture meets the metropolis. The program integrates within its pedagogy contemporary research practices, with an aim to generate new knowledge about the various scales of architecture in large cities. Every semester, there is a systematic progression of research: Academic Writing and Ethics, Architectural Research Methods and Seminar, culminating in a Dissertation in the fourth semester. Understanding and respecting data is critical, understanding behaviour, both individual and collective, is specifically emphasized in the course. While theory and softer skills are important, so is practice. In the first year, students take a studio every semester that will help them put ideas into practice. M. Arch (Metropolitan Architecture) is a rigorous program that will produce a well-rounded creative professional. It intends to improve leadership qualities while also upskilling an already skilled graduate.

Programme Outcomes Graduates of this program will develop the capacity frame the scope of metropolitan architecture itself and approach design in a granular and textured manner, with an in-depth knowledge of the processes that make the city function. The architecture they create will be a series of sensitive propositions/interventions rooted in the contemporary functioning of the city. This will make any new architecture transformative in nature. The knowledge and wisdom that graduate shall gain from this course will be useful in architecture and urban practice, designing legislation, preserving the cultural heritage of the city, documenting the new, curating emerging knowledge and keeping a critical stance towards both individual aspirations and collective imperatives.

Introduction to the Program The M. Arch. Program in Architecture Education is aimed at architects with a professional degree to develop core competency in the methods and processes of educational pedagogy, to become more relevant as teachers to students of architecture. The program also is aimed at graduates of allied disciplines like Art, Design and Structural Engineering to develop competency in integrated learning methods in architecture. This program addresses therefore a long-standing lacuna expressed by teachers of architecture. The program also upgrades the knowledge and discourses in architecture to contemporary times, acknowledging the diversity of architectural practices and approaches to the built form and material fabric. It gives the graduate student the tools to be flexible and adaptable in the current scenario of fast change and environmental challenges. It inculcates the values of research-based pedagogy by providing relevant training in research. The program accepts inclusivity and pluralism as its base from which a variety of transformative practices may emerge. In order to maintain a contextual relevance, the curriculum shall address a potential teacher’s appreciation of architecture in the Global South, beyond the conventional Eurocentric focus. The Graduate of this program shall be competent to create courses, curate future curricula, integrate changing technologies of design and representation, be appraised of changes in context and ecological variations while maintaining a critical stance towards all these narratives. 57
Confidential
Most significantly, the Graduate will develop the tools for effective expression and communication, and become an influencer of best practices, whether by the various modes of representation, the written or the spoken word. The Graduates of this program will have an opportunity for three-fold self-development: As a ‘Teacher’ with abilities to gather knowledge, build ideas and concepts, communicate knowledge; as a ‘Pedagogue’ with capacity for instituting systems and methods of knowledge sharing; and as an ‘Intellectual’ with calibre for broadening the scope of the field/ profession and deepening its academic discourse.

Programme Outcomes Graduates of this program will have the capacity to approach teaching of architecture and allied subjects in a granular and textured manner. Due to the essentially student-driven nature of the program, the student can chart their own areas of interest, develop specific expertise, and direct the course of their individualselfdevelopment. The program does not limit itself to the training of teachers of architecture, but broad-bases the knowledge, appreciation and critical stance of the student to be able to contribute usefully to several field beyond the classroom, such as architectural practice, research, writing, journalism and curating.

Introduction to the Program While building this program, we researched what is currently available as options to a Design graduate. We discovered a need for a broad-based program rather than a hyper-specialized one. There is a need gap, and we will fill it.
A Multi-Disciplinary Approach There are three clear student learning outcomes/design outputs of the course, and they will be in:
Moving Images:
Film direction, Cinematography, Animation, Special effects, film marketing, Production, Broadcast, and Video for social media
Physical interaction:
Production Design, Event Design, Exhibition display, Retail Design, Hospitality Design, Signage system design, Merchandise Display,
Virtual Interaction:
UI, UX, AR, VR, Game Development Regardless of their specific background, every student enrolled in the course will be exposed to the other design outputs. The idea is to create practitioners who come with a certain skill and go out learning multidisciplinary skills.

Keeping up with Change The world is transitioning from a fixed to a gig economy. This means that teams come together for a certain project, collaborate and create. Once the project is complete, they will be part of another team, working on a different project. This is not going to be an exception but the norm. The CXD program aims to cater to this shift. Another area that we have focused on is Creative Leadership. Many creative leaders, despite their competence, may be average leaders. In the past, many creative teams have failed due to this lack of leadership training. Dealing with creative talent necessitates a completely different skill set that no management school will ever provide. Another focus of the program is Entrepreneurship. The program’s goal is to empower students to monetize their ideas and be greenlit by the stakeholders. Risk Management and Conflict Management are integral parts of the program.
72
Confidential
Research-oriented Practice Research is another pillar of this program. Every semester, there is a systematic progression of research: Academic Writing and Ethics, consumer research, and analytics, culminating in a dissertation in the fourth semester. Understanding and respecting data is critical, as it is the most expensive commodity in the commercial world. Understanding behavior, both individual and collective, will also be emphasized in the course. While theory and softer skills are important, so is practice. Each semester, they will take a course that will help them practice and improve their creative product. There are subjects with clear tangible outcomes, such as game development, UI, UX, AR, and VR. Every semester includes a studio and a core subject that builds up to a capstone project in the fourth semester. The capstone project may be industry-sponsored or self-funded. Throughout the four semesters, graduates will be mentored by industry experts. With social media creating more focused communities, we realize that micro-messaging is here to stay. Everything going forward will be made for the interactive world. In conclusion, it is a rigorous program that will produce a wellrounded creative professional. It intends to improve leadership qualities while also upskilling an already skilled graduate.

Introduction to the Program While the written word is revered, consumers all over the world are fascinated by typography. Each letter is intended to convey a specific emotion. It is not only their physical appearance, but also their interpersonal relationship. There is a lot that goes into There are three clear student learning outcomes/design outputs of the course, and they will be in:
1. Appreciation (History & Criticism) 2. Practice 3. Research The origins of the letter form, the visual representation of a sound, and the evolution and movement of type faces over time will all be covered in history of typography. This foundation will provide us with insight into current practises too. A type design student has a lot to offer in terms of practise. Beginning with the conceptualization and creation of new fonts for its various applications. Since the digital medium is now the dominant medium, type design must be more dynamic than ever. Letter forms can also be an art form with practise. Calligraphy also has the unique ability to experiment and create a new movement while preserving old traditions.
83

Researching type forms, lettering, and calligraphy is an area that is underutilised. Many ancient scripts are endangered, and some are extinct. Many traditions will be revived as a result of research. Anticipating trends and potential roadblocks. Working with various governments to study languages and their cultures is integral to the program. They will be skilled enough to pursue their professional ambitions as: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Typographer Type Designer Art Director Typography Educator Calligrapher
The idea is to create practitioners of and become specialized in typography. This is a one-of-a-kind programme that provides an overview of the world of type design. The course is also designed to give students the freedom to pursue their passion projects.

PhD Program
Introduction to the program Established This is to offer cutting edge research opportunities in Art, Architecture, Design and the Humanities at the highest level of intellectual rigour and academic integrity. The doctoral research program is inspired by the UGC de novo mandate for addressing ‘strategic needs of the country or for the preservation of our cultural heritage’, but will go beyond this to generate new knowledge in all its fields of study. It is intended that the school becomes a beacon for research in the country (and the Global South), attracting the best minds from all over, to come to the university and contribute their intellectual resources. For long art, architecture and design have been relegated to the role of practice-based disciplines. However, the research that emerges out of these disciplines can directly contribute to a variety of applications in the real world. Mindful of that, the research directions and the research supervisors in the university will be uniquely geared to achieve this. The PhD offered by the university shall follow the UGC (Minimum Standards for Procedures and Award of the PhD) Regulations, 2022. This will include the space for working professionals to carry out doctoral research in the institution.
