About Parisar Trust

Parisar Trust, Vadodara, established the Arvindbhai Patel Institute of Environmental Design (AP.I.E.D.) in 1980 to provide education in the fields of architecture and interior design.

APIED was able to create an environment that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and innovation for students, which in turn facilitated learning and growth.

Since its establishment, AP.I.E.D. has been committed to providing a comprehensive and well-rounded education to its students. The institute's faculty members are experts in their respective fields,with programs designed to be rigorous and challenging, where students are encouraged to think critically and creatively, pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

Over the years, AP.I.E.D. has developed a reputation as one of the premier institutions for architecture and interior design education in India. Its graduates are highly sought after by employers, and they have gone on to become leaders in their respective fields. APIED continues to strive towards excellence in education, and it remains committed to providing its students with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to succeed in their chosen careers.
