The Festival of Architecture and Interior Design (FOAID) returns in 2025 for its 12th edition, unfolding across two key cities—New Delhi and Mumbai—and bringing together professionals, researchers, and students to explore the themes driving change in contemporary design.
The New Delhi chapter is scheduled for 21–22 November 2025 at the NSIC Grounds in Okhla. The Festival will then move to Mumbai on 19–20 December 2025, hosted at the Jio World Convention Centre.

Founded in 2014 by Shradha Badiani and Viraj Shetty, FOAID has grown into India’s leading platform dedicated to architecture and interior design.
Its mission is to celebrate design excellence, foster innovation, and strengthen networking between professionals, brands, and emerging generations. Among its signature components are the Design Manthan Conference, featuring high-profile speakers; young talent competitions such as VOX Architecture Ideas; and extensive exhibition areas showcasing emerging products and technologies.

This year’s edition offers talks, round tables, and conversations with prominent voices from the global design scene, including Andy Fisher and Sir David Adjaye, invited to address the challenges currently reshaping architecture and interior design. Alongside thematic panels, visitors can expect live installations, immersive experiences, and presentations spotlighting next-generation materials, technologies, and design solutions.
A dedicated section of the program focuses on students and young designers, engaging them in educational activities and opportunities for direct dialogue with established practices to support their entry into the profession. The exhibition area will provide an overview of the trends shaping the evolution of design practice in India and beyond.
