Design is culture-centric. The way one lives, dresses, eats… all have a bearing on the people of the place as a whole. Feeling enriched with the art and architecture of Milan, and chewing upon the design sensibilities of its people, I am left absolutely amazed at the systems in place. With underlying methodologies in place, one can truly accomplish great deeds. More on this in due course. The opening of Milan’s new school of design was a cozy chic affair. I am just awaiting some exceptional pictures that I can share with you as I tell you all. Until then, our fare for this week includes a beatific home with a view in Hyderabad, a progressive institutional architecture project from Hong Kong and a sustainable temple pavilion in Kolkata. And the highlight is a new building for the Kimbell Art Museum in Texas by master architect Renzo Piano. Enjoy your read. Warmly, Savitha Hira Editor
