OUR JOURNEY
SINCE 2009
IDEAS was born out of a simple yet powerful belief — that education in design and architecture should be immersive, hands-on, and rooted in relevance to the world around us. Since 2009, we’ve grown from a humble beginning into one of the country’s most respected institutes, constantly pushing the boundaries of how future designers and architects are shaped.
We are not just a college; we’re a space for exploration, experimentation, and innovation. From award-winning studios to socially conscious design work, our journey is defined by impact — and it has only just begun.
INCEPTION
The inception of IDEAS was guided by a vision to create a new kind of design learning space — where academic rigor meets creative freedom. A place where students are mentored to think critically, build responsibly, and imagine fearlessly.
What started as a dream has grown into a vibrant ecosystem of learners, mentors, and changemakers — all committed to shaping a better-designed future.
PHILOSOPHY
We believe that design education must do more than teach; it must transform. At IDEAS, every aspect of our teaching is infused with the belief that design can be a tool for change — cultural, social, and environmental.
From studios and seminars to fieldwork and hands-on making, our pedagogy is designed to help students become thinkers, doers, and leaders in an ever-evolving world.
VISION
MISSION
GOAL
To be a leading design and architecture institute known for shaping responsible professionals who contribute meaningfully to society through thoughtful design.
To foster a learning culture that integrates critical thinking, creativity, and context-based design — empowering students with the skills and mindset to respond to real-world challenges with integrity and imagination.
To create an environment where design and architecture students grow as confident, curious, and compassionate individuals — prepared to innovate, collaborate, and build a better future.
PEDAGOGY
At IDEAS, learning is not confined to classrooms or textbooks. Our pedagogy is hands-on, immersive, and deeply rooted in the act of making, thinking, and reflecting. We believe in learning by doing — through design studios, live projects, workshops, site visits, community engagement, and interdisciplinary dialogue.
Here, every student is challenged to ask questions, collaborate, experiment, and build with purpose.
Our mentors are practitioners, researchers, and thinkers who guide students with empathy, criticality, and a shared commitment to shaping thoughtful, context-aware designers.
From our inception to now, IDEAS has been a space for exploration, creativity, and learning. We nurture aspiring designers by combining values with innovation.
