A Word from the Editors

“Going beyond what we know” is a concept rooted in curiosity that makes humans prosper. Diving into the interdisciplinary design from the current possibilities and limitations into concepts further than one’s domain of work sits at the highlight of this edition. With “Beyond Dimensions”, we see each domain of industry as a dimension. Through careful analysis, we hoped to uncover the connections between seemingly unrelated topics, helping to further our understanding of the underlying principles of design. Edition 4 is an archive of such cross-sections between dimensions.

The edition is filled with thought-provoking and inspiring topics that expand our knowledge and awareness. In a discussion with our feature, Janine Benyus, the founder of Biomimcry 3.8, we go through her story of coining the term ‘Biomimicry’. Speaking of stories, we have Vivek Raju charting a map far further from design. Julian Curi, creator of Righteous Robot presents his 2.5D animation and shares how narrations are brought to life. Nitzan Zilberman, Head of Curation at Oxman takes us around the edges of art, human, and biology through her study of “freeports”. Further, Haribaabu Naatesan, founder of FOSSILSS has shed light on rethinking materials and the process of creation and Namrata Jain is aligning the tables of psychology and game design. Converting Indic heritage into tangible products, Sunil Jalihal is sharing his biggest inspiration “India’’. Lastly, giving a glimpse into the ever-changing design education system in India we have Lolita Dutta.

Surpassing Weave’s regulars, we are stoked to add a new section showcasing industry projects by Yash Pradhan and Aditi Anuj as the first in the lineup. This edition, we also bring in some amazing works and articles curated from our talented students here at MIT ID Indore.

We hope the flip beyond this page gets you curious to travel dimensions.
