520			_aThe need for revamping architectural education is perhaps a universally accepted fact. While incorporation of new technological courses in curriculum suffices for upgrading technical skills, teaching of humanities requires a more inventive approach. Taught as discrete entities rarely integrated in studio, students often fail to see the relevance of these subjects. This is resulting in architects who are at best well equipped in technological applications but largely oblivious to socio-cultural concerns. The effect of a misguided enthusiasm for technology and neglect of socio-cultural concerns is well exemplified by the failure of the Modern Movement. The problem is intensified further at the scale of Urbanism where one has to address the needs of a collective society. Concerned with habitation successful architecture is one that is not only technically sound but satisfies the social aspirations as well. Thus knowledge of these socio- cultural aspects is essential not only for intellectual development but also for professional growth. Attempting to devise effective teaching/learning techniques for humanities in the curriculum, the paper aims to facilitate the student understanding by integrating the learning into studio projects to realize potential applications.
