GLITZ architecture & interiors - February 2024

この号では

A review of the book ‘Architectural Inheritance and Evolution in India: Furthering a Lineage or Building a New Identity’ by Apurva Bose Dutta and the post-event report of IIID Bhubaneswar’s Installation ceremony are special features of this issue, along with the projects that won the Honourable mention in various categories at GLITZ Design Honour 2023. In this diverse array of architectural recognitions, a common theme emerges—a celebration of symbiosis between tradition and innovation. Whether it's the PSG Architecture College and Convention Centre in Coimbatore, expressing architectural visions in urban spaces, or the Fluted Cuboid in Chhatral, embodying a corporate architecture revolution from earth to sky, each project showcases a delicate balance between heritage and modernity. The Tarang in Gandhinagar, which shines on the cover of this issue, and Tribhuvana in Ahmedabad embrace green design and vernacular architecture, respectively, intertwining bold expressions with cultural roots. The residential spaces, such as the House of Volumes in Kottayam and the Open Sky Residence in Thrissur, breathe new life into time-honoured traditions, transcending walls and connecting with nature beneath a canopy of stars. Even in interiors, from the collaborative sanctuaries of the Tantra Office in Vadodara to the cozy nooks of Aarti Villas in Vadodara and the neutral-toned warmth of Aralias in Gurugram, there's a consistent thread of harmonizing contemporary needs with timeless aesthetics. The recognition of Ad Customs in Rajkot for interiors in retail underscores the significance of meticulous details. This collective recognition highlights a broader narrative—a commitment to architectural excellence that seamlessly blends the essence of tradition with the aspirations of the future.
