CREATION AS A RESULT OF ‘COLLECTIVE’ EFFORT; WITH SEVERAL SPECIALISTS FUNCTIONING IN AN INTERDISCIPLINARY MANNER.

Ancient cultures like India followed the ‘Evolutionary Process’ of design - where an idea or object was organically improved upon by collective contribution over a protracted period of time. In the West, Industrial Revolution, led to an era of ‘specialisation’ with professionals applying the formal planning process. The Modern movement, cut across this, in the 30’s and 40’s with a ‘generalist or inter-disciplinary’ approach to design.

Several inventions continue to be the result of many minds, at different points in time - here, we make a case of collective effort, at a single point.
