Walk the talk with Ar. Dean D’Cruz in Pagdandi | A planter that speaks via emojis | The art and craft of Sandalwood carving | and more

Dear Reader,

In times when we aspire to set a lot of wrongs right, we are so delighted to interact with Ar. Dean D’Cruz from Mozaic Architecture, Goa, who believes in emulating all that he advocates. A staunch supporter of sustainability, he walks the talk despite some practical pain points. In our ongoing series titled Pagdandi that documents the enriching journeys of stalwart design professionals, Ar. Dean D’Cruz relates his success story. Check out his trajectory via textual and visual content in our cover story for this week.

Continuing in our endeavour to visit different parts of the country and its regional art and craft, we bring you the woodcrafts of Sholapith and Sandalwood carving.

Personalised style underscores the featured homes – in Kyiv and Delhi. And for the green-fingered, there is the AIOT-enabled smart planter called Ivy. Interestingly designed and programmed, it’s a hands-on assistant indeed. Check it out in our Product Hub section.

See you next week.

Warm regards,
Savitha Hira
