On the occasion of 8th Foundation Day, the Institute of Indian Interior Designers (IIID) Bhopal Chapter organised the Master Forum of the year 2020 on Sunday at Hotel Courtyard Marriott.

Italian Architect, Romano Mastrella, graced the occasion with his special presence. Romano gave a presentation of his works done so far and informed new designers about innovation and creativity.

The day-long forum was attended by 100 members of IIID including a large number of students from MANIT, SPA and INIFD. Significantly, IIID has ten thousand members at 32 centres across the country. IIID Bhopal Chapter Chairman Manoj Choubey, Secretary Rishi Sahu, former Chairman Mayuri Saxena, Chairman Elect Ravisha Merchant were present in the program.

On this occasion, Bhopal Chairman of IIID Manoj Choubey said that the designers of India have many things like our heritage, civilisation. Our country is very prosperous and all we need is to design it better.

He said that the real identity of a good architect is his design, wherever he goes he must see the heritage and understand it deeply and then prepare its design. Manoj Choubey told further about the latest trend of interior designing saying “Now time has changed, earlier we used to copy the design by taking idea from outside countries. But now it is not so as nowadays people use construction materials available locally, construction techniques and also the old monuments and heritage in design, instead of using outside technology and designs.”

While addressing the gathering, Romano opined that today’s young generation is really smart, it knows very well how to use advanced technology within few time. “But I would like suggest that they should not go for excess use of technology like instead of copying any design from Google, make it on paper by yourself. The more work you do on paper, the better designer you will be one day.”
