SURFACES REPORTER SALUTES  is not an award in the conventional sense - 

It is a tribute. A recognition. A salute.
To the architects and designers who have shaped skylines, transformed living experiences, preserved cultural narratives, and pushed boundaries with creativity and courage.

Why East and North East India?

East and North East India has always been a region where art, culture, craftsmanship, and contemporary design co-exist in harmony.

SURFACES REPORTER SALUTES 2026 celebrates this very spirit.
