In this issue

As we embark on curating our Anniversary Issue each year, we’re met with a duality of emotions - jubilation and introspection. We’re reminded of the rich legacy we’ve inherited, and the profound responsibility that comes with chronicling the trajectory of Indian design. With the design landscape evolving at an unprecedented pace, and a plethora of talent emerging, the challenge lies in distilling the essence of this dynamic world into a meaningful narrative. Once again, we sat down to put together A+D Top 50, our annual compendium of visionary architects and designers whose innovative approach to design and groundbreaking projects made an impact last year. It’s a formidable undertaking, to navigate the vast landscape of creative output, and present a curated selection of trailblazers whose pioneering approaches and paradigm-shifting projects have left an indelible mark on the Indian design landscape.
