About IVS
An oasis of creativity located in Clifton, Karachi. Famous for its iconic campus, which features the 100-year-old Nusratserwanji building (relocated brick-by-brick from Kharadar), IVS offers a liberal arts environment that fosters critical thinking alongside technical design skills.
Founded in 1989 by a group of visionary architects and artists, IVS was established to provide an alternative to the state-run art education system. It received its own charter in 1994 and has since become the gold standard for design education in Sindh.
