Mumbai, Maharashtra Jun 16, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - India’s most influential design festival returns with a bold vision and bigger impact
The Festival of Architecture & Interior Designing (FOAID) is set to make an extraordinary return in 2025 with two power-packed editions — New Delhi on November 21–22 at NSIC Grounds, Okhla, and Mumbai on December 19–20 at Jio World Convention Centre, BKC.
Now in its 13th year, FOAID has become one of Asia’s most significant platforms celebrating innovation in architecture, interior design, and allied creative industries. With a theme centered around “Designing Tomorrow: Culture | Craft | Climate”, FOAID 2025 will unite over 15,000+ design professionals, 300+ brands, and 100+ speakers across both cities.
This year’s editions will spotlight global conversations around sustainable design, technological innovation, adaptive reuse, and vernacular intelligence, through a compelling mix of keynote sessions, debates, masterclasses, exhibitions, awards, and design showcases. The festival continues to provide unmatched opportunities for architects, designers, brands, and students to connect, collaborate, and co-create.
A major highlight this year is the VOX Architecture Ideas competition, an open call to the country’s most imaginative design minds. Focused on the theme "Ceilings as a Design Statement", VOX offers architects and interior designers the chance to push the boundaries of materiality, storytelling, and spatial experience — with a Mercedes-Benz as the grand prize. The competition has already sparked nationwide interest, spotlighting the next wave of visionary talent.
FOAID 2025 will also feature the return of marquee platforms like:
-
Design Manthan – High-impact dialogues with India’s leading architects
-
Build India Vision Summit – Infrastructure meets innovation
-
Expressions – The country’s largest student design competition
-
Design Arena – India’s most diverse design exhibition
Speaking about the upcoming editions, Mr. Viraj Shetty, Founder & Director of FOAID, says:
“FOAID 2025 is not just a festival — it’s a movement. As we face complex environmental and urban challenges, design must lead with responsibility and imagination. This year, we are creating more space for cross-disciplinary thinking, youth innovation, and global partnerships.”
Stay tuned as FOAID 2025 unveils its dynamic lineup of speakers, installations, and collaborations that will redefine how we imagine the built environment.
