Current Edition
Dear Readers,
It's time for our next issue, and I would like to emphasise on the fact that "Design is a series of choices we make" and every design decision, no matter how small, contributes to the overall outcome. Each choice reflects priorities, values, and intentions, shaping the final outcome. This perspective highlights the importance of thoughtful decision making in design, considering factors like functionality, aesthetics, user experience, and context. By embracing design as a choice, we can craft spaces that not only inspire but also enhance the lives of those who inhabit them.
Our world of design is in a state of perpetual evolution, fueled by the intersection of creativity, technological innovation, and shifting societal values. As design trends oscillate between sustainability, minimalism, and maximalism, designers are continually challenged to balance aesthetics with functionality. In the process of pushing boundaries, driving innovation, and creating beautiful and meaningful spaces, designers are able to push the limits and explore new ideas and that’s what we need, yes.
In this edition, we will explore various aspects of design, and creativity. Through stunning visuals and thought-provoking features, we'll inspire you to transform your space and embrace the beauty of design. There are a variety of design firms presented in this issue, including Sanjay Puri Architects, CCBA Designs, Salient, DS2 Architecture, M Moser, Evolution Design, House and Beyond, Aetas Design Studio, Tales of Design, 23 Degrees Design Shift, Tropic Responses, etc.
This edition also features a special interview with Ar. Phillippe Fouche, Principal SAOTA, as well as with Sanjay Puri, Principal Sanjay Puri Architects. Also, I would like to express my gratitude to University Institute of Architecture at Chandigarh University for inviting me over as the Conference Chair for Urban Symphony 2025. Furthermore, Iwould like to draw your attention to this wonderful exhibition held by my dear friend Abhay K, "Shunyata".
Also, I would like to express my gratitude to Stonex for inviting me to Art Soirée hosted in Kishangarh, Rajasthan. Additionally, I would like to thank In Awe for inviting me to this wonderful event celebrating art and architecture held earlier this month, where we also happened to interact with Meenakshi Lekhi, former Minister of State for External Affairs and Culture of India.
Just below this note, you will find an abstract painting by myself titled, “A Dot in Motion”. Yes, there are some emotions evoked by the name, so it did in me. Feel free to share your perceptions with me. We also encourage you to check out (www.interiorexterior.com) to see hundreds of new projects, submit your own, and download digital copy of the magazine.
