Stir World - “Canoa expunges the veiled aura of backend processes in design and architecture”

Date Published
Feature on Anand’s talks for ICFF and his curation for VESSEL by Almas Sadique.
From symposiums to art festivals, architectural workshops to design talks and even the mission statements of newfangled creative practices and agencies, the focus upon collaboration has gained points as an essential ingredient for inclusive design in recent years. Emerging in stark contrast against the celebrity culture that disproportionately extols creatives for their ‘iconic’ individual outputs across spaces, galleries and homes, this culture of collective creation addresses the desires of the stakeholders, utilises the expertise and vision of professionals and employs the adeptness of specialised collaborators, whilst also blurring the boundaries between these disparate roles, for suggestions to permeate across the spectrum of individuals involved in the task at hand.
