The Design Village (TDV): Multidisciplinary Design Institute & Prototyping Ecosystem

The Design Village (TDV) is an industry-integrated design institution located in the industrial design corridor of Noida (Delhi NCR), with an international campus in Borgo Priolo, Italy. Operating academic degree programs in collaboration with O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU), TDV combines critical design pedagogy with practical digital fabrication, social design inquiry, and sustainable product realization.

Academic Programs & Design Disciplines

• Transdisciplinary Design: Flagship undergraduate and research-driven curriculum crossing boundaries between technology, social impact, and material systems.
• Product & Industrial Design: Physical realization, ergonomics, enclosure design, hardware integration, and mass-manufacturing readiness.
• Communication & Interaction Design: Digital interfaces (UI/UX), data visualization, speculative communication, and dynamic media systems.
• Space & Interior Design: Spatial curation, sustainable architecture, lighting, adaptive reuse, and environmental installations.
• Fashion & Textile Design: Sustainable material studies, technical apparel, biomaterials, and experimental garment construction.
• Strategic Design & Management: Design leadership, venture incubation, system strategy, and circular product frameworks.

Prototyping Labs & Fabrication Facilities

The campus includes dedicated technical facilities—including the Fab Foundation-accredited The Design Fablab, material workshop suites, and advanced digital computing labs:

• FabLab & Rapid Prototyping: 3D printing (FDM/SLA), precision CNC milling, laser cutting, and rapid circuit masking.
• Material & Making Studios: Heavy wood joinery, sheet-metal bending, resin casting, and finishing benches.
• Computing & Fashion Labs: High-performance CAD/CAM workstations alongside experimental textile weave and assembly facilities.
