Of late, we have often said that design is all about experiences; about the interaction between spaces – negative and positive – and humans. And this synergy can predictably, either be productive or complacent. A tour of the ongoing exhibition, ‘Death of Architecture’ in Mumbai further establishes this thought.
Without delving into the finer details, as I would urge the fraternity as well as any of you interested in the seriousness of urban development to visit and turn an inward eye, I would say, a conscientious effort such as this is only the beginning of a welcome exercise – that may awaken the people-that-be to the colossal urban chaos that our metro cities are turning into.
On another note, the experientiality continues as we profile for you a small, all-day dine-out in Russia; a brick gallery – yes, that weaves tales of 100 varieties of natural bricks – in Ahmedabad; and the principles of transformation design applied to a university campus in Brazil. We also decode the pattern-on-pattern trend for you, making it easy for you to keep abreast of the latest goings-on in home décor and fashion.
Until next week and another slice of design, Happy Holi!
Warmly,
Savitha Hira
