While many try to integrate a landscape into the built form, others think out-of-the-box! One Central Park - year 2014’s Best Sustainable Development & Overall Winner at Leaf Awards, demonstrates the indigenous use of natural resources through heliostats and hydroponics. A must-read! Other celebrations of design and architecture – iconic award winners, an Italian bistro in Delhi and the work of 22 ceramic artists striving to prove their mettle in mainstream fine art make for an engaging read.
