About Arthshila Ahmedabad

The centre’s focus lies in the fields of Architecture and Design, with an intimate interest in Visual-Culture. Stationed as a knowledge hub that creates access to multiple resources, the centre will host a collection inclusive of books, films, digital media and educational content in the many fields of design and expression. It intends to engage different audiences through its exhibitions, seminars, conferences, interactive dialogues, workshops and more. The different spaces available within the centre seek to invite curious minds to participate in the curated programmes as well as with the space itself.

“A platform that serves as a centre for architectural insight and design knowledge to not only students and professionals of the design domain, but also to general citizens—this is the most awesome aspect of the centre as this will enhance the concept of creating and sharing ideas around architecture and design.”

— Mansi Patel, Centre Coordinator, Arthshila Ahmedabad

“With the city’s Institutions moving more and more towards being privatized resource-rich centers, I see Arthshila as an important accessible public institute, critically adding further to the discourse of architecture and design in India.”

— Aman Amin, Programme Lead, Arthshila Ahmedabad

“I am excited by the possibility of a space where I can lose myself amongst the pages of a volume I truly love. It is awesome that a private institution with a not-for-profit motive can mobilize thought and resources to create a permanent public resource—a place for people to engage with critical ideas.”

— Ruturaj Parikh, Programme Curator, Arthshila Ahmedabad
