SEPT 20-21, 2025 : BANGALORE
Elev8, a vibrant architecture and design festival, an initiative by The Architects Diary, is the Summit of the Greatest Minds & World-Changing Thinkers. By connecting the right questions with the right people, Elev8 serves as a dynamic platform and amplifies the voice of the community. Elev8 explores how design can create lasting impacts, spark change, and shape a future that endures.
Sustainability is not a new concept; it has always been integral to the Indian way of life, deeply embedded in our traditions, materials, and spatial intelligence. We are not reinventing sustainability; we are reclaiming it. The theme of this Elev8, The Green Print: Towards A Sustainable Future, is a manifesto for regenerative futures, a call to radically reimagine how we build, inhabit, and restore our world in the face of ecological collapse. This is about design as responsibility—about creating spaces that are alive, that breathe, evolve, and give back. It is a movement that honors the architects, designers, and material thinkers who are designing the future not by reacting to crisis but by rewriting the system, rethinking what and how we build at every scale.

Founded in 1873, RBANM’s Educational Charities has played a vital role in shaping Bengaluru’s educational landscape, emphasizing access, inclusivity, and empowerment across generations.The building once housed the CVS Sabha School and it is from this legacy that the name “Sabha” was derived. The logo of Sabha symbolizes a meeting of the minds where each letter forms a person-unique and diverse-coming together to debate, share and celebrate.
