Façade Makeover| Adaptive Reuse| Possibilities of Visual Impact| India’s New Electric Car| and more

Dear Reader,

We are back with another potent, inspirational, and intriguing bouquet of features collated from different corners of the world! Didzis Jaunzems Architecture designs an exhibition by interestingly catching the viewer at the intersection of the real vs. the virtual. The concept and execution of the exhibition design, where a story can be brought alive and made to interact with, makes it a hands-down contender for the cover story of the week!

Erez Shani Architecture repurposes an erstwhile zipper factory in Israel into a renowned artist’s studio cum exhibition space giving it a raw industrial grunge appeal, creating drama between rustic appeal and the finesse of embroidery. Simple, minimal, and thoughtful interventions!

As always, Studio Jean Verville, designs a house in the Laurentian forest in Canada for a couple who wanted to sample his whimsical design sense. He uses organic forms, and textures, colours, and materials that exploit light in a kaleidoscopic reflection to explore the possibilities of visual impact! A must-read!

And there is more! From Paris and from Mumbai and Bengaluru in India.

Enjoy your read!

Warm regards,
