Dubai Design District (d3), established in 2013, is a space where the worlds of design, art and fashion co-exist, where new perspectives are provided, and where a change of the ordinary to the extraordinary is made possible.

‘Disruptive thinking’

“d3 enables disruptive thinking to create a world of endless possibilities through beautifully designed spaces and unique community offerings. Taking inspiration from d3, the GoK has the objective of setting up a design district on 100-150 acres in Bengaluru. The government also wants to organise a ‘Bengaluru Design Festival’ as the world’s largest design festival,” the Minister said.

“Bengaluru Design District will be a global outsourcing destination for various design domains. It will be a creatively stimulating environment that will keep creators, makers and designers in one place. It will benefit corporates, design centres, media & advertising companies, product/service design companies, design start-ups and digital design companies,” Narayan said.

The project has been proposed by ISDC (International Skill Development Corporation) and Jain University, in association with the World Design Council, UK.
