Dear IAnDian,
Architects and designers’ shoulder different responsibilities – social, cultural… and above all, extremely personal as they play the role of essential advisors not just for the space they design but the lifestyle changes that the outcome would herald.
Our stories this week feature projects that illustrate such responsibilities on the physical and psychological fronts: the diagnostic imaging clinic in Delhi that propagates cognitive healing; the all-suite hotel in New York that promotes luxurious residential living to soothe travel woes; the Plexiglas visor-like shields that designer Christophe Gernigon has developed to enjoy a social outing whilst maintaining safe social distancing; and our cover story, where adaptive reuse has completely transformed an old home into a progressive office environment with focus on employee engagement and wellbeing. And in our ongoing Special on Nostalgia, Minnie Bhat reminisces about her all-time favourite and challenging project – Tru Tram Trunk!
As we come to terms with our rapidly altering lifestyles, let us mull over our ways of interaction and personal take-aways from everyday situations.
Get introspective. Enjoy the issue…
Warmly,
Savitha Hira
