His | iconic vocabulary of crafts bazaars, haats, now replicated in all major cities of the A country will remain a lasting legacy of a very sensitive, hands-on practitioner. He | P I was also amongst the foremost architects who identified much ignored but most signifi- | cant places of streets and roads as the canvas of a designer’s work. His contribution in the R formulation of guidelines for Indian streets and roads (for UTTIPEC) is invaluable. Gautam | Sachdeva, his son and Suparna Bhalla, his long time associate and friend remember him in O a tribute feature. | T | India has a great tradition of historic gardens belonging to various regions and cultures. I These gardens have often remained sources of interest for artists and painters. Various in- | spirations for planting designs and their distinct characters are the subjects of a new four- D part series on Aesthetics of Planting Design in Early Mughal Garden Paintings by James L. | Wescoat Jr., a much-respected scholar of the subject of Islamic Studies. Separately, the is- E sue profiles the professional journey while sharing thoughts and views of Narendra Dengle, an erudite academician, thinker and senior practitioner. The concluding part of the discussion on the Central Vista Redevelopment project brings to forefront views of professional bodies like INTACH, ISOLA, and IUDI along with opinions of a diverse set of practitioners, academicians, and thinkers from different fields. With the idea of revisiting the knowledge and lessons imparted by classic books related to the subjects of nature and design, culture, environment, conservation, and sustainability, the Journal features a review of ‘The Fissured Land’ by Madhav Gadgil and Ramachandra Guha by Rahul Paul. Views of Feizal Alkazi, theatre director and artist, may find some resonance with spa- tial designers who are engaged in designing imaginative and experiential landscapes. In an interview, he shares some of the distinct aspects of the performative craft. Advisory Editor of the Journal, Adit Pal—associated with it since its founding months in the year 2001—will no longer be involved in its content from this issue and onwards. He will remain involved in discussing the Journal’s vision and direction. The current pandemic situation has changed the world all around us in more ways than one—the way we work, the way we interact, the way we think, the way we live, and our pri- orities and our directions. Like the previous issue, this issue [and the next one too], would be made available only as a digital version, and no hard copies would be printed. While we ourselves miss the printed copies, we are happy to share that the last issue has had a far greater—and much quicker—reach in its digital format. We hope to return to the printed version by the end of the year. Take care. Stay safe.
