108 Portraits of Indian Design
The history of design goes far and beyond, having seeped in architecture, clothing and even our daily products of use. India has a vast archive in its ancient heritage structures, gleaming palaces, and even humble dwellings. Design has evolved from the purely functional to interior decor, and traces have been discovered. With the setting up of schools like the Madras School of Art, Sir J.J. School of Art and the National Institute of Design, design education has evolved with the times and has become a popular field for young minds.
