AA Visiting School
Bangalore
Applied Research at the Intersection of Materials, Design, and Technology
Where carbon negativity becomes a design driver rather than a constraint.
AA Visiting School x CarbonCraft unites the AA’s culture of critical experimentation with CarbonCraft’s
The AA Visiting School x CarbonCraft will unfold through three interconnected phases, integrating research, computational inquiry, and hands-on material exploration.
Architectural Association (AA) School of Architecture, London
Founded in 1847, the Architectural Association is one of the world’s leading institutions dedicated to architectural education. Located in London, the AA is known for its innovative and progressive approach to architecture and design education, with a global network of Visiting Schools that extend its influence and pedagogy beyond the UK.
CarbonCraft
Architectural Association Visting School (AAVS)
CarbonCraft is a design and material innovation startup based out of Bangalore building low carbon footprint building materials. At CarbonCraft, we are on a mission to combat climate change by developing various low carbon footprint building materials through our expertise in material innovation and design. We have successfully completed 15,000+sq ft of commercial deployment with our recurring clients like Adidas, creating an environmental impact of 49TCO2e.
A shared ground for making, thinking, and building differently.
It is a platform for hands-on exploration and critical inquiry. Working with emerging tools, innovative materials, and collaborative processes, participants test ideas at full scale and rethink how architecture can shape a more responsible built environment.
Why Bangalore ?
Set in Bangalore during its most inviting season, the program unfolds within a city at the forefront of sustainability, material innovation, and design research. This convergence of climate, culture, and experimentation creates a compelling global platform, drawing participants from across the world to engage, make, and rethink the future of low-carbon design.
