Dear IAnDian,
The current news that has hit us hard is that of the possible extended lockdown. A sense of futility and the loss of lives around us bombard us with unpleasant thoughts, damaging to our self-esteem. But the truth is that we are all inherently resilient. And the best of the philosophical texts reiterate that we remain positive and respond to the challenges of life, rather than react to them.
Let us, therefore, shift our attention to all things pleasant. Motivate ourselves to continue to work the way we always have. Look at the horizon. Look for positivity and try our best to imbibe and adapt amidst chaos.
This is one reason dear IAnDian that we continue to keep your focus on the good things happening around you. The magic of design.
This issue comes to you after a fortnight. Carefully collated to bring you only the utmost sense of design magic. We have for you stories from Surat, Delhi, Istanbul and Montreal. We also bring you two stories that directly relate to the pandemic serving design solutions in the wake of calamity - CURA - quick and cost-effective ICU units designed by Carlo Ratti Associati - the proto being installed in Milan - an intensely hit city in Italy and the second is NOVEL - an IR thermal scanner that product designer Paul Sandip pitches as a handy tool to segregate the ill at the very first stage of recognising a Covid-19 victim.
So let's take a deep breath and pledge that we will respond with serenity and strength as we adapt to new ways of coordinating, communicating and doing business.
Stay positive. Stay safe.
Warmly,
Savitha Hira
