Where ideas meet perspectives, design enters the larger conversation, and what begins in one place has the potential to travel much further.
Since 2014, FOAID has grown into a platform where the many worlds of architecture and design come together.
Leading architects, interior designers, thinkers, jurors, brands, emerging voices and industry leaders converge around the ideas shaping design today — and the possibilities defining what comes next.
From thought-provoking conversations and project showcases to materials, installations, competitions and new discoveries, FOAID is where design is seen, questioned, experienced and carried forward.
Different practices.
Different disciplines.
Different points of view.
FOAID creates a shared space for the people shaping architecture and design to exchange ideas, discover work, challenge perspectives and celebrate what the industry is capable of.
Because design moves forward when ideas move between people.
A showcase of projects, ideas and design thinking from practices across India.

A platform putting completed projects and emerging practices before the industry.
A platform for conceptual and ongoing projects that deserve to be seen, evaluated and recognised.
