Institute of Indian Interior Designers (IIID)'s Mangalore Regional Chapter launched
Mangaluru: The launch of the Mangalore Regional Chapter (MRC) of The Institute of Indian Interior Designers (IIID) was held in Mangaluru earlier last week. This event was of immense importance to the architectural and interior design fraternity as it brings new opportunities and opens new doors for all the talented professionals and students alike. This is also important as Mangalore is quickly becoming the hub of design education in the South India.
“The core of the newly formed Mangalore Regional Chapter is comprised of the Executive Committee Members, who have worked tirelessly for the formation and launch of MRC. It comprises of Ar. Mohammed Nissar (Chairperson), Ar. Anil Pai (Hon. Secretary), Ar. Sharun S. Anchan (Hon. Treasurer), Ar. Sonal Shetty Rao (Committee Member), Yusuf Miraj (Committee Member) and Ar. Ramnath Nayak (Committee Member). The AK Group is in the process of being the corporate partner/member for the Mangalore group and has been providing constant support and encouragement.
“To provide an introduction to the organization – Institute of Indian Interior Designers, which is popularly called I.I.I.D, was founded in 1972 to establish good professional & trade practices and ethics amongst its members and to highlight and enhance the image of the Interior Design Profession and exchange know‐how with similar organizations within the country & abroad. IIID is a member of APSDA: Asia Pacific Space Designers Alliance.Today, with over 8,000 members in 33 chapters & centres across India, IIID is true representative of the Interior Design fraternity within the country as well as globally. IIID has well defined aims and objectives towards fulfilment of its duties towards the fraternity & profession and society at large” a press release from the organisation stated.
IIID MRC is also tied up with International Federation of Interior Architects/Designers (IFI), which is an international body of architects and interior designers. This tie up provides the necessary link to the rest of the world, something that Mangalore greatly deserves.
The MRC is the 33rd chapter of this esteemed organization. The members of the recently formed The Institute of Indian Interior Designers - Mangalore Regional Chapter, who were under the Bangalore regional chapter until now, have been an exceedingly versatile and enthusiastic group for a long time. The IIID members from Mangalore have been initiating and hosting several architectural and interior design workshops and interactive sessions to not only increase the professional engagement but also cater to the field of design education to involve and inspire young minds.
“Though a small group of not more than 60 members, the group boasts an exceptionally high concentration of talent, skills and industrial knowledge and experience. The members of the Mangalore Chapter shall always dedicate their skill and industrial know-hows to the educational field to nurture budding interior designers. The IIID MRC has planned many events and drives in the immediate future for the benefit of the design fraternity, education institutions and the society as whole” the release further added.
