Academy of Applied Arts: Specialized Interior Design Education with Expert Faculty

Academy of Applied Arts is a single discipline school of Interior Design. We believe the diversity and detail of each subject taught is expansive. Expertise needed by a faculty member teaching construction basics would be way different from the one who is teaching lighting, one teaching lighting shall be different from understanding the details of software and so on.

Students are able to specialize in each of the areas of courses taught, a gamut of teachers are involved in teaching each batch. The teaching style of these industry experts brings in a flavour unique to the subject as well as the exposure offered to the students by the vast global experience of each teacher.
