Welcome - موزيلا فَيَرفُكس We love the way Bangkok University has been branding itself as a Creative University during the past few years. One method they have chosen to do this is to re-imagine and re-allocate the space so that the students will want to spend time on the campus, not just studying but enjoying themselves. As before the university retained Bangkok’s Supermachine Studio, led by Pitupong (Jack) Chaowakul, to create the Student Lounge (formerly allocated for teachers) at the Rangsit Campus, located north of Bangkok. The new configuration for the lounge was completed in March and includes about 1,000 square meters (about 10,764 square feet) combined on the ground floor and mezzanine. The ground floor area is designed as a flexible hang-out space that can be reconfigured for studying alone or in groups, resting, meetings and so on, using the porous, mobile “ribs” as walls.

Amazing Bike Share Transporting System The Zurich based architect and designer Rafael Schmidt submitted a new Bike Sharing System to a competition organized within last year’s International Climate Conference in Copenhagen. Quite different from a transporting system, RAFAA’s new design will contribute not only to the stocks and flows of people, but also to its user and to the city itself. The bike is equipped with a supporting electric motor and a 26V lithium battery to make it suitable for short and long distances up to 15km. The lightweight aluminum frame is made of one piece, thus enabling an easy wiring inside. Most of the components are integrated into the frame or the wheel to prevent theft and damage.
Confessions of a Designer In design, as in any domain, there are certain preconceptions about what designers think and do. This is a collection of quotes that Anneke Short (the same designer who made these awesome music lyrics related posters) has either thought herself or that she has heard her designer friends say. Personally, she says, that the biggest preconceived idea is that a project will take however long it takes to sketch it up, whereas nine times out of ten, it is the concept and not the implementation that takes time. Hence ‘just come up with a few quick logos’ being a total oxymoron. by Anneke Short About the author Brand New Conference Epilogue Many thanks to all who attended or streamed the 2013 Brand New Conference.
