A singular focal element in design has held its importance universally and unequivocally. This week, we bring you designs centred around this showstopper in the design/ architecture of a space, a built form, even an installation. As Rutvi, an architect and our correspondent points out, “Not very many designers want one single element to pillar their design, it can go so wrong at times,” but here we are, struck by the tenacity of these designs.
Light-emitting translucent concrete is no new finding. Yet, the way it has been incorporated into the facade and the interior of the boutique bank in Jordon made us share this interesting read with you. Design studio Orproject’s continual thrust with materiality and elasticity in relation to ecology finds a new expression in an art installation for a private collector. Do check out the enterprising life-size sculpture.
Coming to our cover story – the big, bold, beautifully undulating red stairs for retail design, ‘Roaring Wild’ narrates its whole story visually. The architect purports to achieve a balance between the seen and the unseen – tangible vs. intangible.
Have a great read!
Warmly,
