IDEA Concludes with Stimulating Exchange of Ideas at Anant National University Ahmedabad: Anant National University's recent initiative, IDEA: International Designers Explore, Experiment, Educate at Anant, proved to be a dynamic experience for both guest designers and students as they delved into innovative design approaches and grappled with the intricate dynamics of identity in today’s globalized landscape. With the theme ‘Rediscovering Roots’, IDEA hosted eight international and Indian designers who led engaging workshops on various themes, culminating in an exhibition showcasing student projects born from these workshops. The line-up of designers included distinguished figures such as Prof Gjoko Muratovski, Provost at the Australian Institute of Advanced Technologies; Prof Peer Sathikh from Nanyang Technological University; Prof Juan Antonio Islas Munoz, Assistant Professor of Industrial Design at the University of Montreal, Canada; Ki Chan Lee, Founder of KI LEE Korea; and notable Indian architects like Apurva Mishra and Achyut Siddhu, Founders of Loksutr; Prof Cedric Serpes from the Goa Institute of Management and McArthur Foundation awardee; and Shashank Nimkar, Founder of Earth Tatva.
