How can Architecture and Design education contribute meaningfully to a sustainable future?

GUNI-FADP@2025: Mapping the UNSDGs presents a comprehensive exploration of how higher education can align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) through curriculum design, pedagogical strategies, and academic planning. Focusing on undergraduate Architecture and Design programs offered at the Ganpat University Faculty of Architecture, Design & Planning, this publication systematically maps courses, learning outcomes, and educational experiences against the global sustainability agenda.

Moving beyond broad institutional commitments, the book examines Sustainability at the curriculum level. Through course-by-course analysis, comparative evaluation, and strategic benchmarking with reputed Indian and International institutions, the volume demonstrates how educational programs, especially in the domains of Architecture, Design, Real Estate, and Construction, can become powerful catalysts for environmental stewardship, social responsibility, cultural preservation, and innovation.

The publication includes:

- Comprehensive course-wise and semester-wise UNSDG mapping

- Comparative insights between Architecture and Design education

- Indian and International academic benchmarks, alongside comparative snapshots

- Strategic recommendations for curriculum enhancement and institutional development

- Reflections on the future of sustainability-focused higher education
