A study on assimilation of Taj Mahal architecture in product designing

Abstract

Inspiration has long been considered important in many creative professions including architectural design, which plays an important role in shaping visual appearance of products. Every design begins with great inspiration. One of the inspirations is architectural styles of buildings that strive to preserve the cultural heritage of an entire civilization. In combination with other work on inspiration, these findings can help shape how design is taught and how inspiration tools are developed. This is a study conducted to understand the different motifs, colours, interior and intricate designs used in decorating Taj Mahal. The jali lattice, floral motifs on makrana marbles have been inspiration for designing products.
