About Institute of Design Environment and Architecture

Ahmedabad's brick-and-concrete fabric serves as a direct learning lab for students here. The curriculum forces pupils out of conventional lecture halls. They spend significant hours in the old city’s historic pols documenting vernacular construction methods. Studio sessions prioritize manual drafting and physical model-making before transitioning students to digital design tools.
