by Rajesh Dahiya
Dekho ( www.codesign.in/dekho ) is an anthology of conversations with design practitioners primarily in India, tracing ideas and thoughts around design education, profession & opportunities through informal conversations. The talk will cover the motivation behind the project in absence of formal or institutional documentation of design in India, the journey of creating the book, and the need to find new ways to create rich and meaningful documents of the practice of design in India.
Formally trained in graphic design & interaction design, Rajesh is the founding director of Codesign—brand identity & communication design practice. With over 15 years of professional experience Dahiya balances the strategic role of design in businesses and craftsmanship in design execution through his creative leadership at Codesign. He founded Codesign as an independent practice to create a vibrant environment for ideas, people and culture, that collectively creates original design that is rooted in and responsive to the new India.
This talk is in relation to the exhibition ‘Come-In: Interior Design as a Contemporary Art Medium in Germany’, on view at the NGMA till December 16, 2016
