Studying for architecture in Shimla
Shimla students preparing for NATA or JEE Paper 2 can look at B.Arch colleges in Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Chandigarh and beyond. Live online classes and drawing feedback mean you can prepare without leaving the hills, and the stepped streets, church spires and slope-side houses are ready-made subjects for perspective practice.
Shimla grew as the summer capital of British India, and its ridge-top layout still shows how colonial planners worked with steep Himalayan slopes. The Mall and the Ridge form a level spine lined with timber-framed, Tudor-style buildings such as the Town Hall and the Gaiety Theatre, while Christ Church, with its neo-Gothic tower, anchors the view on the Ridge. The Viceregal Lodge on Observatory Hill, now the Indian Institute of Advanced Study, is a large grey stone building set in landscaped grounds. Below the main roads, houses step down the hillside on retaining walls and stilts. In surrounding villages, the kath-kuni technique of alternating timber and stone courses offers a lesson in earthquake-resistant vernacular building.
The Kalka Shimla Railway is part of the Mountain Railways of India UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Christ Church on the Ridge is a neo-Gothic landmark from the British period.
Kath-kuni walls of alternating timber and stone are found in villages around Shimla.
