One question – Diverse opinions: Will 3d printing disrupt and redefine building design? | Interiors take on the mantle of our myriad moods| and more

A significant underlining in the fraternity of architecture, art and design is the fact that with great built forms comes great responsibility. Growing at an alarming pace, and being addressed through dedicated research, we also know that environmental conservation is at the core of all changes needed to combat global warming and the drastic climate fluctuations being experienced. Part and parcel of this zero-carbon footprint is the technology that brings us 3d-printed concrete, which going by the proto and experimentation being carried out, promises to address several issues that are now part and parcel of the design-and-build funnel. The proto Striatus shows the way dry construction can be circular and speedy, besides its other advantages. Will this really be taken forward and impact the construction scenario? Will it be a competitive option on various fronts? Several aspects need addressing. Do check out the feature and give us your thoughts.

As interiors take on the mantle of our myriad moods, we bring you a recently completed hotel in Bengaluru and two homes that thrive on the nuanced hues of the colour blue.

Continuing with our presentations of the Red Dot product design awardees, check out the Matrix Flex drawer system from Hafele. It’s simple, chic, and minimal.

Looking forward to your feedback on the proposed impact of 3d printed concrete. Write to us at editor@indiaartndesign.com
