Presidency University in Bengaluru showcases innovation in design education
The School of Design at Presidency University, Bengaluru, recently hosted its Experiential Week — a platform for students to present their academic and creative work across disciplines.
Over 250 students from the Bachelor of Design and Multimedia programmes participated in the event, which offered a curated exhibition of over 300 projects, including product prototypes, system designs, fashion collections, multimedia installations, and visual narratives.
Work from all four years of study was represented, providing a comprehensive view of the developmental arc of student learning — from foundational exploration to advanced conceptual execution.
The format of the event encouraged students not only to display their work but also to explain their design processes, receive constructive critique, and engage in meaningful dialogue with faculty, visiting professionals, parents, and peers.
Experiential Week extended beyond static displays. A series of workshops and talks facilitated knowledge-sharing and skill development. Highlights included a seminar on Innovation Clusters led by Carlos and Sugat Das from IED Milan, which addressed collaborative design ecosystems and their potential in the Indian context.
The week concluded with a curated runway-style showcase featuring design collections from eight emerging fashion designers.
