Sky Garden: Novelty with purpose; A journey called design; Hybrid seats and more

What a creative brain pours out, at times consistently; periodic surprises at others, is basically what maintains the intrigue of life and living. When I first read about the social experiment 'Devices of Abstraction', my interest was piqued to know more - especially the outcome. That is when it dawned that there is no definite, no finite outcome. There is continuum. Novel, reinvented, resuscitated continuum. Our stories this week take you from Instanbul’s newest attraction to the waterfront in Amsterdam; from an interactive design school in Gurgaon to a luxe home in a posh Mumbai suburb and a lot more... Do give us your feedback and stand a chance at winning an original painting. The offer is closing soon. Warmly Savitha Hira Editor

Every space has its calling. The tangible-intangible, when harmonious, create a narrative that communicates with the user on his metaphysical plane. Our issue this week is all about unique connections. Check out our trending story by Collage Architecture. This visually connected home goes beyond spatial intelligibility to evoke a strong emotional connect. Experiencing the built form and nature almost simultaneously in this abode gives a new high! A similar experience is evoked in the Al Sultan restaurant at Mayfair, London, where the designers IDEA interiors have woven a bespoke aura of mid-eastern architectural motifs, aesthetically presenting it in the now. The vocabulary of subtlety and contextuality is reflected in the other projects too – Ar. Brinda Somaya’s prayer room for the Goa Institute of Management, Ar. Jean Verville’s fairytale home in the woods; KNS Architects’ monochromatic magic in a Mumbai apartment; Ar. Yoshitaka Uchino’s ingenious bookcircle as the highlight and most significant interior component in a Tokyo home... allude to bespoke design solutions that make a strong – very strong connect. Enjoy the issue!  Warmly, Savitha Hira Editor
