Dear IAnDian,
Our bouquet of features this week addresses serious issues in the built environment. Circularity and adaptive reuse are close alternatives of the same base aspect - reuse and reduce. The Noord archive depot in Amsterdam is a built mass that epitomises this concept via its prefabricated nature, whereby the entire building is on offer for a different function, a new purpose - if required.
Taking this concept of entirety to an all new level is the Filux Lab - a light and cinema focussed space that acts as a laboratory for various light experiments and performances. Here, again, the building which already is an adaptive reuse project - makes itself available - doors, windows, walls et al... for art and projection - the very purpose it embodies.
Beautifully integrating aesthetics with design and planning is a norm. Adding a light touch to serious goings-on, are two projects that endorse this norm - the Colour Court in Noida that superbly and seamlessly integrates various leisure spaces under one roof; and our cover story -the Bridge View House - that is a modern oasis amidst Arizona's wilderness. In both projects, as you will note, sensitivity is key - human to built form; and built form to immediate surroundings.
Enjoy the issue and tell us what set the grey matter rolling.
Warmly,
Savitha Hira
