The final episode of the Netflix original documentary, ‘Abstract’, that is based on the views and works of renowned British Interior Designer Ilse Crawford, shows her journey of becoming the designer she is now, the projects she has worked on, and how she achieved it all.

My very first college study trip to Goa was kicked off with an amazing day spent with Architect Gerard DaCunha in Houses of Goa Museum, where he explained his work, style and ideology.
