This month, we at IAnD have set our sights on identifying and bringing into the limelight social relevance in design. Every time a design is perpetuated, there are ‘n’ no. of dynamics attached to it; some perceptible, others hidden; and some others nuanced and inherent. With the architect in the role of a game-changer; a socio-politico-cultural influencer, spaces take on new dimensions, when viewed thru’ the lens of relevance.
Our stories this week stem from this need to recognize relevance in everyday design. So we have interior architects DIALOG transform a warehousing facility into a trendy next-gen office despite a constrained budget; Yamashita successfully creating a community space out of a simple design element – an undulating roof; and designers, Eray Carbaje making a hip salon out of an ordinary barber’s shop – reinstating the significant role of people’s perception in everyday living; opening up several debates that can burgeon into societal essays!
It promises to be an exciting month full of revelations. Stay tuned in and rejoice in design… with us!
Warmly,
Savitha Hira
