Detailed Description

The street furniture for the CIDCO project was developed by Prof. S. Nadkarni. Simple street furniture was designed for the New Bombay Programme of the City Indutrial Development Corporation. All the items designed have a simple construction with bold, clear graphic information. Another important project of Prof. S. Nadkarni was the Trade Exhibition in Moscow. The Indian Trade Exhibition at Mascow was undertaken for the Trade Fair Authority of India. The exhibition to be transported from Bombay in total had many challenging structural and organisational problems. The theme pavilion was designed to depict Indian cultural values. "Tryst with Destiny" was a combined project done by Prof.S. Nadkarni, U.A. Athavankar, M. Chattopadhyay, A.G. Rao, Subodh Dhairyvan, Roby D’Solva, and Abdul Gaffoor. The Center was tasked with creating a pavilion on "Education" for the Third Asian International Trade Fair, known as Asia 72. The design efforts culminated in a presentation called "Tryst with Destiny," distinguished by its simplicity from the rest of the pavilions. The scheme depicted educational efforts at various levels in the transformation of India since Independence. The Pavilion conveyed the theme through murals, illuminated photographs, filmed interviews, a film, and a publicity programme of posters, folders, etc. Vaccum formed plastic units which could be transported easily and assembled in a short time were designed. Items like chairs, ash trays, and lamps were specially designed for the exhibition.
