We believe Design & Architecture can impact lives. The Ethos Foundation has launched Arcause Clubs to empower architectural colleges through self-led initiatives & collective actions. "Architecture and design are central to lifestyles, well-being, healing, connecting, growth, living, and life itself. However, the power of design can impact much more than it does today. The Arcause Clubs are a medium to explore live projects, care for society, and make a true impact. Let's join hands and walk together. Students, Professionals, and Institutions can register and be part of the club.
This year, we're excited to put the power of planning and strategy directly into your hands. By guiding you through each step, we believe you'll create a more holistic approach and seamlessly integrate social responsibilities into your curricular and co-curricular activities.Here is the form link for you to register. If you are a new member, click Register Now. If you are already an Arcause club member, register under Club login. This academic year, we are releasing the Handbook as a worksheet for the clubs to take initiative and align with our long-term vision and work together to realise it.
