This paper focuses on the need and importance of research and self-driven learning by discovery through an intellectual thought process as a part of present architectural education in India. It would promote the value enriched classical method of teaching the subject along with the ability of students to question the method by itself. This can be a great tool for perpetuating and illuminating the contemporary learning process whose outcomes would be much more sensible. According to me, “Any product as an outcome of intellectual design process would have minimal flaws”. Process oriented design approach should be inculcated in the learners rather than a product driven approach. A small refinement in the contemporary architecture education adopted by most of the colleges would produce not merely architects, but intellects who can play a sensible part in the future development of our nation.
