About Us
A canvas for new ideas, design and innovation.
FOAID began its journey in 2014 and has evolved into a design platform that brings the architecture and interior design fraternity together through exhibitions, conversations, competitions and awards.
Across its New Delhi and Mumbai editions, the festival creates room for multiple voices and forms of expression — from established practices and international speakers to young designers, students, brands and material innovators.
