Venue: Saito College
Date: 21st November 2009

Each of us is a unique part of the living planetary organism which is itself undergoing a shift from one phase of evolution to the next. As this process continues, we integrate the higher or essential self within our body/minds until we become whole beings.

Changes and developments are the main elements towards solution for better living especially for us as designers contributing with various part of built environment.

We believe towards evolution, we need to have these 4 important elements to become today's generator of ideas:
- extraordinary
- extreme
- explore
- exceptional

Tomorrow's idea is from the phases of evolution. An evolution is a journey from the past to the future and let's make our journey within this natural layout around us given by god as the route to bring beneficial to our communities.

"We are not the reason for evolution, we are not the point of evolution. We are part of evolution. Unfortunately, we believe that we've been created to dominate the planet, to dominate nature.." - Ted Danson

Crazy Week: Jazz Up 2

by Raymond Low

College kicks start for another batch of newbie. Year 2 and 3 resume their life in college with a humongous project. A public art we need to design for given site. This project brings all IAD students from year 1, 2 & 3 together to make 5 different masterpieces that represent evolution. We have COTree, EMW³, D’spirit, Uunknown and Phalanx. Each of us is required to design a masterpiece that shows EVOLUTION.

Group Phalanx - the time traveler showcasing their banting design

Undergoing 3 weeks of intensive design and planning. The outcome of the each team is spectacular. Full submission of a life size model, sketch book that represent each group, a bunting to promote your work, and commercial break with a 5 minutes short movie. These submissions are coming in as a full package in this competition. Each team managed to pull out magnificent job during the final submission on 16th October 2009 (Friday) noon.

eye-popping banting presentation by Cotree

The ceremony starts at 2.30pm. Kick started with a welcoming speech by our beloved Ms.Atie. In a flash, we start watching the movie from different group. From group E to group A. after finishing the movie, we head to their site. And it started with Group Cotree and end with Group unknown. While the judges are doing their marking, the students have a little refreshment.

The RESULT :

Winning group - EMW³ with their structure named Treehugger Monster

The winner design won by group A, EMW³. With the idea of, inner monster in our hearts. The design is mainly structured by using wire mesh and soft drink can. Their design gave people senses of space traveling as well shows a feeling of monster coming out from cage! In addition, their sketch book was brilliant as they contain it in a man made stone like box. They put in some dry ice to make the misty effect when the box is open. It’s one heck of idea to create scary mysterious feeling.

D'spirit of Evo

Then the 1st runner up is D’spirit. Their design idea is a dragon, inspired by our college’s logo. Their design are mainly structured by using wire mesh, wires, soft drink can and bottles. Their design is dominating their location with their outstanding design and shows the team perfect workmanship. In their movie, favorite character “Mushu” from a cartoon movie Mulan, was used to deliver the fierceness of dragon in a more funny way!

Last but not least, the 2nd runner up won by COtree. The design was inspired by roots from the tree that located at their site. The design is mainly structured with wire mesh and water bottles. Their work are more colourful then the rest as they used 3 different colour of plastic bag red, orange and yellow. To actually shows the evolutionary of mood. The structure is obviously shown and manages to create a shading device for that particular space. Come to their movie, their movie is the topic of the day cause of the special effects and outstanding storyline.

For the other 2 groups, their design didn’t get chosen but their creativity and efficiency of their team are definitely undeniable. Phalanx designs make people having a lot of thinking towards their design just to understand their concept. It’s very interesting that they convey messages to the public indirectly so people will takes time enjoy their design. On the other hand, we have unknown. Unknown design is like a time portal structured by wire mesh. But the exact function is a hang out place, where people can sit and hang out.

Dang, this is.. hard...

Think-lab Mini Conference

6976

What Design Means to All of Us in Times of Economic Crisis & Global Warming.

Think-lab acknowledges that the current global economic & environmental state of our time is in dire need of fresh new ideas for solutions. Social and political sectors could use a lot of fresh solutions, as the focus of think-lab’s first forum would be these two major global crisis.

The event titled, ‘WHAT DESIGN MEANS TO US IN TIMES OF ECONOMIC CRISIS & GLOBAL WARMING’ is one of our many conference series which opens up local design context globally. The aim of this mini conference is to create awareness and educate young future creative agents and professionals to be aware of the current global situation. This is very much aligned with our organization’s commitment as the ‘world’s leading design platform’.

Think-lab’s concern is the contribution of the global DESIGN industry as a paradigm for solutions linear to current issues. Think-lab is hosting its first series of many Mini Conferences with the itch to question the function and relation of recent design creations/efforts to being part of the solution.

Think-lab was founded in 2007 as a local culture, design & built environment critic blog. Now expending to be in the society to educate public about design.
