Through a series of thoughtfully curated workshops, the institution underscores its commitment to preparing students for a rapidly globalized and digitized world where technological expertise and cross-cultural understanding are paramount.
In collaboration with Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU), ARCH recently hosted an advanced pattern design workshop at its Jaipur campus.

Participants from diverse design fields such as fashion, interior, communication, and jewelry explored creative techniques to produce intricate patterns, marrying mathematical precision with artistic expression.
Commenting on the collaboration, Archana Surana, Founder and Director of ARCH College of Design and Business, said, “Partnerships with global institutions like MMU empower our students with advanced technical skills and an international perspective, preparing them to thrive in an increasingly interconnected and competitive design industry.”
On the cultural front, ARCH joined forces with the City Palace Museum Trust during the Jaipur History Festival 2024 to organize a workshop that highlighted the fusion of folk art with modern storytelling techniques.

Participating schools included Delhi Public School Jaipur, MPS Kalwar Road, Sanskar School, Subodh Public School, Dharav High School, Maharaja Sawai Bhawani Singh School, and Birla Public School, Kishangarh. Students showcased innovative projects, such as Panchatantra-inspired installations and mandala-style “Tree of Life” designs, demonstrating the potential of traditional arts to address contemporary challenges creatively.
