Nike’s LED basketball Court, Ar. Manit & Sonali Rastogi, i29 Design Studio & more

Hearty Congrats to our fraternity members, who have been winning awards on various platforms! We profile one of the awardees - Ar. Manit & Sonali Rastogi of Morphogenesis Architecture - global itinerants, who have polished their personalities into an ideal synthesis of what architects, designers, urbanists and planners of the built and un-built form should be like.   Following closely in the realm of newness and technological influence on design, Nike’s House of Mamba-Basketball Court fitted with LEDs take the sport to another level.  A great sporting breakthrough!   It’s ironical, how a small space with an intelligent spatial distribution becomes a large one; cases in point: KesSalao in Bonn, Germany; and the Stacked House in Bangalore simply and beautifully perpetrate this notion.  Space and spaciousness seem the keywords this week, as you also browse through a smart colour-coordinated transformation in a gym in Portugal, and in an office in Amsterdam.   Enjoy the issue.   Warmly, Savitha Hira Editor
