Integrating Graphics in Corporate Interior Design : The Synergy Way

By Ar. Neha Srivastava

We have spoken at length in our previous blogs on the relevance of graphics in contemporary interior design , and even traced the roots and evolution of graphics down the ages. However, all this talk would be meaningless and just for the archives if we did not actually use it in a practical way. As a leading interior design firm in India, Synergy has the onus to keep abreast of the latest trends in all aspects of design, be it functionality, aesthetics or work ethics. Being a design and build turnkey firm, we have the unique capability of delving deep into any project , big or small, and seeing it in a 360 degree view. We have used graphics as an integral part of our design approach since before the time they became a trend. You could say that ‘We practice what we preach!’

Work From Home – A Road Map for Design Professionals

By Ar. Neha Srivastava

‘Man is a social animal’ – this statement by Aristotle was used for human kind in a sociological context but it can be safely and specifically applied to the design profession. Architecture and interior design is a very ‘social’ profession - right from brainstorming, making and discussing conceptual designs as a team, taking ‘crits’ from seniors and colleagues, multiple revisions, saving and sharing information and ideas, meeting vendors, arranging samples, market and site visits, and of course client meetings - it all involves social interaction and meeting people on a daily basis. What we do as architects and design practitioners revolves around interacting with each other, working individually and sharing it socially.

Proportionately Yours- The Math of Interior design

By Ar. Neha Srivastava

“The mathematical sciences particularly exhibit order,symmetry and limitation; and these are the greatest forms of the beautiful” - Aristotle

Mathematics is a subject not easily associated with interior design, especially once the bothersome, formidable entrance exams, where maths is a prerequisite subject, are over. But once you start looking closely, math is all about ratio and proportion and what is architecture and design if not that? Rational spacing, precision, the right ratio of length, breadth and height of a space- all contributes in creating the perfect scale and perception.

Behind the scenes @ Synergy

By Ar. Neha Srivastava

When I was asked if I could write some blogs for the Synergy website, I jumped at the opportunity excitedly...after all, I love writing in my journal, pride myself on being a grammarista and have written the occasional restaurant reviews. But when I got down to thinking of just the topics, it was a different ball game altogether.

Graphics in Interior Design-a Pictorial Journey

By Shaza Mariyam

The art of communication is what gave humanity the ability to express themselves. The simple fact of conveying ourselves paved the way for great successes and is the key to human survival. However, speech isn’t the only way we interact, there are several non-verbal interaction such as expressions, gestures, body language, art and artistic representation. One such means for communication is via design. Design in any form, be it architecture, paintings, graphics or user interface design, is just a mode of conversation. Simpler and more impactful modes of delivery of thoughts are tools that take humanity forward, like the tool of Graphic Design. It has a soaring range and is steadily being used and incorporated in many platforms, encompassing us in many forms, prompting that ‘Design is thinking made visual!’
