At ARCH, our philosophy stands on three core pillars—Empower, Co-Create, and Innovate. These values reflect global design education practices that focus on experiential learning, human-centred and ecologically responsible design, interdisciplinary thinking, and preparing students for the fast-changing creative economy. As ARCH completes 25 years of excellence, we continue to strengthen our commitment to shaping designers who think critically, innovate responsibly, and adapt confidently in a complex world.

ARCH’s journey has evolved from offering foundational certificate programmes to pioneering Rajasthan’s first 4-year Bachelor of Design (B.Des) degree, building a structured and progressive design education ecosystem. Over the years, our academic growth has expanded through contemporary programmes and global collaborations, including Visual Merchandising with Shoppers Stop, the British Council-supported UKIERI Project, and the EU-funded Co-Design Project focused on learning for impact. Partnerships with organisations such as USAID, Dell Foundation, Melinda Gates Foundation, ExxonMobil, and Vital Voices further strengthen ARCH’s alignment with international standards while responding to India’s evolving design landscape.
