From Lucknow to Milan We are delighted to have successfully completed the 8th edition of ‘The Talk of Town’ design event in New Delhi. Eminent architects, designers and industry experts from the city attended the event and it was an enriching confluence of valuable thoughts & ideas. The next destination are the cities of Lucknow/Kanpur on the 6th of April, followed by Ahmedabad, Ludhiana/ Chandigarh, Bangalore, Indore, Coimbatore and more. What makes me thrilled is the vast periphery of work currently under execution. The pleasure of deriving emotional response from local design sensibility in culturally relevant cities like Lucknow, Kanpur, Ludhiana, to reaching out for Milan and Cologne for churning 100’s of international best designs, gives us the rich opportunity to continuously expand connections and knowledge. Those who wish to contribute and be part of Surfaces Reporter’s special Milan issue, are welcome to connect with me. I will be glad to team up at the Salone del Mobile. To come back to Surfaces Reporter’s ‘The Talk of Town,’ it was born after conceptualising WADe Asia, a large scale architecture event that has participation from across India. Last three editions saw the presence of dignitaries from Dubai, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, London, Nepal, Bhutan, Thailand, Indonesia and more. I did not want to trade off local dialogues for the sake of global outreach. Thus Surfaces Reporter’s ‘The Talk of Town’ was started to connect the dots and go full circle. Over the last three years, these talks have emerged as a vibrant & niche platform to network, engage and expand the architecture, urban planning, art, and interior design community. The continuous success of this nationwide design conference even in tier-2 and tier-3 towns reinforces our belief, “We need to come together more often, to interact and learn from each other’s experiences and create a positive impact on society, city, lifestyle and the fraternity.” To attend Surfaces Reporter’s ‘The Talk of Town,’ select the city of your choice and register your name at: - www.surfacesreporter.com/register-now Let’s rise & grow together!

THE MINI CITY EVENT WITH MEGA REACH
Key takeaway from Surfaces Reporter’s ‘The Talk of Town’ event was the common feeling prevalent across, among the design fraternity, urban planners, brands and academicians, that these events should happen more often and we all get chance to interact and learn from each other’s experiences and create a positive impact on society, city, lifestyle and the fraternity.
