Round Up of London Design Festival 2014; Zero-energy House by Snohetta; Award-winning Glass House by Moriq Architects & more

One may ask, why there is so much emphasis on design? Design and business; design and management; design and industrial growth… Clearly the equation balances out, when we get better informed at international design fairs that open up new avenues to thinking, assimilating, strategizing… Our team came back from the London Design Festival 2014 rejuvenated with fresh insight into the all-pervading domain of design! Do check out what they have to say. In our regular fare, we see that climate and the built form are integrally related. Two beautiful projects illustrate this – the award winning ‘glass house’ by Hyderabad-based Moriq architects and the zero-energy house by Snohetta. And of course, there’s more. Write in to us with your valuable feedback. Warmly, Savitha Hira Editor
