Dr. Sushama Joglekar
(1962-2021) Professor, Sir JJ College of Architecture It is with profound grief that we share the news that our professor Dr. Sushama Joglekar is no more. She succumbed yesterday, 6th May 2021, to Covid related illness. |
Dr. Joglekar was the longest serving teacher of architecture at Sir JJ College of Architecture having joined the college in November 1985. She was one of the first persons to receive a PhD in architectural education more than two decades ago. At the time of her passing, she was Professor, a two-term Chairperson Ad-hoc Board of Studies in Architecture, University of Mumbai, and had recently been appointed Chairperson of the University’s Women’s Development Wing. In the college, not only was she a senior teacher, but was also in charge of Post Graduate Studies. She was both a thesis guide as well and an examiner of doctoral research. She was very popular with her students, her colleagues and members of the architectural and academic fraternity. She readily shared her vast knowledge about architectural education, especially in the University of Mumbai, with all who came to consult her. She was kind and caring, and always the one to turn to in time of need. She had a rational and logical mind, and was very liberal in outlook. She had several interests and pursuits; primary amongst them was her love for architectural geometry and origami, which she sought to master over several decades. In losing Dr. Joglekar, we have all lost a personal friend, colleague and fellow teacher. Her loss will be felt for a very long time, but we will never forget her contributions to her students, our college and the university. We at Sir JJ College of Architecture will always try to perpetuate her memory by striving for the betterment of all in architecture and academics. Dr. Joglekar is survived by a daughter, Parikshita. We offer our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to her family. |

JJ fest is a collaboration between Sir J.J. School of Art, Sir J.J. College Of Architecture and Sir J.J. Institute of Applied Art. A fest to celebrate our campus as well as our tradition! |

'THE PAST AS PRESENT'
This exhibition traces the influences of documentation, decoration and design on architectural pedagogy and architectural practices in India in the late 19th and early 20th century at the Sir JJ School of Art, Bombay. The many original drawings and images on display explore this interaction.
|
'DECO ON THE OVAL'
Students of Sir JJ College of Architecture, along with Professor Mustansir Dalvi have recreated the facades of 18 buildings that form the Art-Deco stretch on the Oval Maidan. Using older drawings (first made in 1996) and images contemporary to their construction, they have redrawn the facades in the form they were when first constructed in the latter half of the 1930s. This exhibition of elevations also has details of architectural ornament on display, and vintage images of a few of the buildings, pristine in their newly constructed glory.
