Time and again we observe a going back to history. A going back to traditional ancient architectural methods and typologies. Of course, the signature lies in the smart tweaking that contemporises the design and planning to suit current living needs, even trends.
A house built literally in the midst of a desert doesn’t shut out the barren nature. Instead, Kendle Design Collaborative opens up the interiors using the courtyard typology and glass walls that promote seamlessness.
The retail store by Labvert Design Studio too contemporises traditional Japanese craftsmanship and ingeniously contextualises the brand to its location.
But going back in time also means going back to a strong value base. Our cover story – a simple thought and practise put into words by Ar. Amit Gupta of Studio Symbiosis, kind of underlines the premise that rootedness is a continuum. It resurfaces periodically, each time making an indelible impact – both physically and metaphysically; urging one to think and question the status quo. Agree??
Enjoy the issue and share your thoughts with us.
