Mod Foundation, started in 2010, is an interdisciplinary urban action and research institute based in Bengaluru. It is a collective of architects, designers, researchers, curators and practitioners with interests in, and interests for engagement with the urbanisation processes in India.

The work we do is design-driven, with an emphasis on exploring the underlying dimensions in the urban fabric, focussing on everyday spaces and objects. We are fascinated with cities, and interpreting them by visualising their information and analyses, hands-on design and mapping techniques.

Mod Foundation is the urban design and research team at Venkataramanan Associates (VA), an architecture, interiors and urban design practice headquartered in Bangalore.
