About the Ahmedabad Design Week


Ahmedabad Design Week [ADW], in its glorious journey of four years, has honored and highlighted key areas which have impacted the field of design and art in the global arena and as we gear up to welcome the fifth edition, our focus concentrates on the contribution of ‘Indian legacy’ in the ideas, designs, skills and capabilities of the modern world. ADW 5.0 aims to untangle the complex structures of modern designs and applications and take everyone a step back in the past to appreciate and celebrate the original inspiration behind today’s design abilities.

+ Know More

India is more than just a country. It is infact the personification of human life itself, its evolution and progression. It is an embodiment of a civilization where knowledge has successfully been passed on from generation to generation and vivid applications in each era have proven its worth for the society and mankind.
Today the world recognizes India as an inclusive thought-leader and a shining light showing the world the road to a bright future. This acknowledgement is testimony to centuries of consistent efforts by our ancestors to preserve and pass on the knowledge, skills, understanding and achievements of their times to us, so that we and our future generations can build upon them and contribute our part towards a better world to live in. What we see around us today is not just the craft of our generation, but a harmonious blend of the heritage and legacy of our Indian ancestors and the contemporary application of technological advancements, all in a suitable manner so that the world is able to create meaningful products and structures.

The theme of Ahmedabad Design Week 5.0

INDIABLE

INDIABLE is a conscious attempt to collate different eras of the creatively thoughtful Indian mindset and its progression through the annals of time, thereby bringing forth a structured and animated pattern which highlights the Indian character, creativity, potential, capabilities and design identity – all blended together in a perfect mix. With a string of dignitaries and experts from different areas in the world of design connecting with young and creative Indian minds through interactive sessions and workshops over a span of three days, ADW 5.0 is ready to illuminate the path for future generations of global design enthusiasts, in the Indian style.
