The Creative Design Academy

The Creative Design Academy is over in Gandhipuram, at No 13B/24 Prashanth Illam. It is on the 1st Street, which is a busy little pocket of Coimbatore. If you are looking for us, we are near Ashwin Hospital and right opposite the Omni Bus Stand. You can hear the buses pulling in and out all day long, which gives the place a lot of energy. Alamu Nagar is a good spot because everything is close by. Inside, we have set things up simply. There are tables for drawing and some computers that stay on most of the day. We don't have a big corporate lobby. Instead, there's just a small area where you can leave your shoes. The lighting is okay, mostly tube lights, but we get some sun through the windows in the afternoon. People come here from all over the city because the bus stand makes it easy. We spend a lot of time just sitting with the students, looking at their work and talking. It’s not a very formal environment. Sometimes we have tea together if there is a break. The building itself is an older one, but it’s sturdy. We keep the floors clean, but with so many people coming in from the street, there’s always a bit of dust. It is a honest place to work and learn about design without any big fuss. We just do our thing here every day of the week.
