We bring you four very strong stories this week.
Our cover story – The Axis House is eloquent about how architecture can be vocal. Well, in the past too, we’ve brought you many such built forms that communicate on a metaphysical level. Here again is a footprint that defines an excellent balance of seamlessness and elegance – the base to nurture the growth of home and hearth.
The home in Ukraine too and its distinctive wabi-sabi references steer a similar path. Minimalist… Introspective… Invoking the sublime.
And the two facade stories intrigue with a narrative that goes beyond the built fabric, looking holistically at the social, economic and cultural context. Whilst the Tokyo hotel establishes its signature culture and vies for tourist interest; the Gurgaon facade attempts to break the industrial stereotype of a neighborhood, integrating sustainable solutions in the bargain.
Let me leave you to enjoy the read.
Warmly,
Savitha Hira
