TEDx: Design with Emptiness | Niyam Bhushan
The world is not frugal by Design. We may have all the abundance, colours, flowers, and joys of the world. Beyond all these forms lies emptiness. For Nature does not abhor the vacuum. According to Design the vacuum is the womb of Nature. So what is the purpose of Design long after all the forms are forgotten? What defines the inner discipline of the Designer? In this TEDx talk delivered in Hyderabad, Niyam offers deep insights that change the narrative of minimalism design as practised in the West, and reveals its true meanings and origins from the ancient design principles of India and the Orient.
Design The Designer Within You: Design Positive Podcast
Both clients and designers need to think of this. Commerce and Conscious. Money versus Wealth. The dilemma of the Designer. Since Design is amoral, are you being responsible with its immense power? When will India have larger numbers of Designers who may not be artists?
Karthi Subbaraman interviews Niyam Bhushan for her brilliant podcast called Design Positive (D+ve). We discuss a tenet of Designthinking and move to creativity and mindfulness from a perspective of India
