The academy positions itself within the wider ecosystem of Indian design schools, alongside institutions that train designers for the apparel, handicraft, retail and interior industries.
Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, is historically associated with handcrafted textiles, block printing, gemstone cutting and jewellery making. This environment provides a contextual backdrop for design education at ARCH, with access to artisan clusters, heritage architecture and craft markets that are often integrated into student projects and field studies.
As a regional design school outside the major metropolitan centres of Delhi and Mumbai, ARCH Academy of Design contributes to the decentralisation of design education in India. Its presence in Jaipur supports the city's role as a hub for craft-based design, fashion and interior practice.
