Stand by Corona; let’s tap into the rejuvenating power of creativity.

We are at a tough juncture. All of us, collectively. Uncertainty seems to underlie almost all our actions. The situation is grim. But, come what may, the show must go on.

The focus now, more than ever, should be on how to brace ourselves against this calamity. How we face the situation is more important than what the situation is bringing to us. For, a lot depends on the way we respond.

Team IAnD is working at full capacity to bring you stories that will uplift you and take your mind away from the disastrous news of death and disease that seems to engulf us from all quarters – WhatsApp, News channels, social media…

Our efforts are focussed on bringing forth the best in the fields of architecture, art and design and this week we take you the stadium that is being built in Senegal, West Africa. A well-defined and multi-layered edifice – this will be the joy of all football lovers… do read about it in our cover story.

Besides, we have a store design fron Bengaluru and an adaptive reuse project from Cologne, Germany that define myriad nuances of design approach.

Today is an auspicious day. It is Ugadi. It is Cheti Chand. It is Gudi Padwa and it is the beginning of Chaitra Navratri. May the New Year bring an auspicious beginning of health, wealth and happiness to 2020 and rid us of all negativity.
