The Vision Summit 2020 hosted by the Institute of Indian Interior Designers (IIID) Kerala Regional Chapter was held in Kochi on February 13, 2020. It was packed with activities, right from the workshop and brainstorming session to the conclusion, calling for a holistic design approach, based on the needs and the culture of the local society, and ensuring high levels of intelligent business management. It was decided that to expand the horizon of the practice, the design industry needs to be more technologically equipped. The summit concluded with the belief that the way to achieve this integration was by joining and collaborating with the industry catering to design-related products.
Another key factor which emerged was for design institutions to come down to the grassroots level and address actual needs through design solutions. The summit also addressed social needs by developing and providing alternative design solutions, which are to be arrived at through a multi-disciplinary process. Of course, the active participation of designers with a joint effort by the industry is key to achieve the highest levels of sustainable design.
The summit also emphasized the need to apply techniques to create something unique and useful by reusing discarded items and by upcycling, instead of creating more waste while redoing or recreating older spaces.
