so in Interior Design, the rapid changes in Technology and Communications during
the last decade have had a significant impact on this profession. The opening
up of the economy to the developing world; influence of Information Technology
on the general populous and significant increase in income/spending of the middle
class has made the world smaller and closer. Design
Professionals in India have had to cater to a better-informed client group, who
have seen/experienced better and more efficient working and living environment
across the world. Learning and providing the rapidly changing technological services
in the design has become a major challenge to the design professionals recently.
Speed, quality and effective implementation of the design has taken an even more
important aspect of the design and trade professionals. Design
Professionals have had very little time to introspect on these rapidly changing
perceptions, aspirations and expectations of the more informed client groups of
today. While coping up with new wave of client demand and satisfaction matrix,
these rapid changes has left the Design Professionals in a quandary of myriad
questions and contradictions such as : Design
vs. Decoration
Consultancy
vs. Turnkey Contracts
Professionals
vs. Hitch Hikers / Amateurs
Sound
Technological Design / Vaasthu Design vs. Technology
/ Myth Component IIID
Bangalore Chapter has chosen to identify, address and deliberate these contradictions
and questions, as the theme for this Convention.
