Spark your entrepreneurship –play the Startup Game| Photovoltaic ice skating rink| Traditional joinery revived in furniture design| and more

                       

Dear IAnDians,

Technology is making new inroads and the multitude interested in the building industry and architecture seems to be growing – our readers are growing and we are growing with them. It is a learning curve – as we explore some new tangents of content presentation, we request your constructive feedback in helping us up the quotient. Do continue to write in and tell us what you like, dislike, want-more-of and do-not-want. Your suggestions and comments are instrumental in maintaining the balance of our relationship.

Meanwhile, this week the focus is on ‘revival’ and ‘technology’ – opposite poles. Whilst the Gounod Apartments and the patio design by Martine Brisson bring out the best of both worlds – historic and modern, this young designer Rooshad Shroff, who has travelled far and is in-the-now, goes back to traditional methodology in an attempt to elevate art!

Taking technology to the highest of prospects is the ice skating rink by Ar. Margot Krasojević, whose cutting-edge design complements her strategic design thinking to the core. Wonder whether we are looking at another Zaha Hadid in the making?!

And lastly check out the Startup Game. It is fun; can be inspiring and definitely a great help in shedding your inhibitions and helping you think openly and freely.

Until next week, ciao!

Warmly,
Savitha Hira

Threads of sensitivity at Kochi Biennale | Decoding computational geometry| Channelling green tones in your wardrobe for 2017| and more

                       

Dear IAnDians,

As we strive to bring you a daily dose of inspiration from the myriad design happenings around the world, we introduce to you a new segment called ‘insight’ starting today. Checking out the increasingly noticeable organic forms in modern building design, we speak to Ar. Vignesh Kaushik as the expert for the first installment in this segment - the niche topic of parametric design or computational geometry. Every fortnight, we shall touch base with a new expert to decode an interesting element in the gamut of built typologies. Do send in your feedback on this. We value it immensely.

Besides, our issue this week brings to you a spattering from the fashion, art, and interior worlds with a highlight on the ‘Tower of Wood’ by the young and dynamic Ar. Hermann Kamte.

Enjoy your read!

Warmly,
Savitha Hira

Experiential Art, Luxury at its peak, Home fashion and lifestyle trends, Sculptural architecture and more

                       

The little three-letter word packs in a universe of connotations! Art is a tool - aesthetically enhanced, status-driven, a trendy expression that holds the magic of driving change. Ar. Jean Verville in Montreal, Marc van Vliet in Denmark and Daniel Valle Architects in South Korea use art installations and art thinking as an interactive platform, gauging and influencing social behaviour in individual instances.

Paired with the built form, sculptural spaces evoke an architectural emotion that goes beyond the regular fare. Invent Architects and Sanjay Puri Architects’ projects are noteworthy in context and scale as they homogenize site-specific natural factors with the man-made.

Swerving away from the serious banter, we bring you luxury at its peak with thematic interiors designed by none other than the queen of sumptuousness - Kelly Hoppen!

Enjoy the issue and keep us posted on your take-aways.

Warmly

Communication Design Success| Google’s Silicon Valley Rooftop Garden | Tokyo’s 2020 Olympics’ Out-of-box Concept Design| and more

                       

Design defines... categorises... eulogises...substantiates... transcends... means and does different things for different people! Good design also simplifies. I quote, “We live in an experience economy, and design is key to creating meaningful customer experiences.” So talking about the virtues of good design, and its value proposition for every business, check out our stories this week – from the thematic club-restaurant with football at its heart and communication and packaging design to elevated gardens and men’s hairstyles, we bring you a full-of-beans read!

Enjoy yourselves, and don’t forget to write in!

Warmly,
Savitha Hira
