Sharing a glimpse of the plastic design, revealing some of the internal technical elements behind the project. An inspiring work for Whyd. #Whyd #IndustrialDesign #Engineering #Productdesign #PlasticDesign #Rendering

Collaging is one of my favourite ways to creatively represent ideas - it allows me to vividly bring my design concepts to life. In this course assignment, I tried using a series of collages to convey the before & after of a post-industrial Tarmac site.

A design challenge to spark 🌟 good ideas on how to use what we have already built better 💡 🏘 Reuse & Readapt This is the name of a student competition with the challenge to ideate on the re-design (Reuse and Readapt) of four sites in the Nordic region (Umeå, Stavanger, Kuopio & Høje-Taastrup). One action is the Nordic Carbon Neutral Bauhaus is to launch a #designchallenge for architecture #students to form transdisciplinary teams with students from different fields and together design new innovative and creative solutions for adaptive reuse of buildings and sites to inspire the construction sector to be better at using what has already been built. Four sites from four Nordic countries that share the need for transformation through reuse and repurposing have been selected for the competition🎯. The winners for each building will be chosen on May 30, 2024, and will receive 4,000 euros. A common goal for the property owners of these sites is to investigate the possibilities of transformation instead of demolition and redevelopment. 👀 this less than 2 min movie and get all the details: https://lnkd.in/df_B9KYg More info in this link: https://lnkd.in/dpNA6GFb NEB Design Challenge is organised by RISE Research Institutes of Sweden in collaboration with Sveriges Arkitekter on behalf of The Nordic Council of Ministers and The Nordic Council and Ympäristöministeriö - Miljöministeriet - Ministry of the Environment of Finland.

I’ve recently come across Mic Patterson PhD’s concept of the millennium IGU & am quite fascinated – the question becomes, why stop at a façade that will only last 100 years? What we’re really talking about here is a glass assembly that will stand the test of time, considering all of the factors that are so commonly overlooked: ▪️Serviceability ▪️Durability ▪️Embodied Carbon If you’re asking why, there might be a disconnect around the lack of long term thinking when it comes to our ‘business as usual’ practices. It’s critical to understand impact of the typical 1” double glazed unit that you see anywhere and everywhere all over the world today. A few questions to begin with may be as follows: - What happens when there is a breach of the hermetic seal (sealant joint) around the glass unit? Is that unit now deemed useless? - What happens at the end of the useful service life (20-40 years down the line) – can the components within that assembly be reused (recycled)? - What happens when only one of the lites (inner or outer) is broken due to impact? Does the entire assembly now need to be replaced? This is truly a paradigm shift – a new way of thinking about façade system and assembly design. Looking at every single component and asking yourself – how will this not only function efficiently today, but also for the next generation? I will continue to dive deeper into this concept and feature Mic to expand our mind’s on the possibilities, but consider this a thought experiment for innovation.

A mindful concept of continuing relevance.

Innovation driven by sustainable design - that's what we do at the Profim brand, and we couldn't have achieved it if it weren't for the creativity of the engineers at Flokk Design in Turek head by Tomasz Kaniewski and the talent of the designers at note (design studio): Joong Han Lee, Kristoffer Fagerström, Max Stjerna. How did it all start? From a "dry" brief. Based on this brief, note (design studio) came to us with creative concepts that showed not a product at all, but a direction, then engineers from Flokk Design in Turek came in and challenged everything. Why engineers challenged us? Because we didn't want another product with a traditional plywood structure to which foam is glued. In fact, everything has already been designed, and the question of design is a matter of very individuality and taste. What we can distinguish ourselves in the market are innovative solutions that minimize our negative impact on the environment. And most importantly - all those who think that engineers are analytical personalities with somewhat “square” thinking are wrong. Our engineers at Flokk Design in Turek are the most creative people I know. Marketing can hide next to them! Watch how the Snap was created and the collaboration between designers and engineers! I envy their flow! #profim #flokk #flokkdesign #notedesignstudio #sustainability #design #innovations #sustainabledesign

🚀 Excited to share our success at the University of Waterloo Design Days! 🎓 Our team took on the challenge of lifting a ping pong ball vertically using only the energy generated from a 200g mass, and we're thrilled to announce that we not only achieved our goal, but surpassed expectations. 🏆 We're honored to have won the efficiency award for our outstanding performance. While typical machines operate at 2-5% efficiency, our innovative design boasts an impressive 22% efficiency rate! How did we do it? Let me break it down: 🔄 Minimized Friction: We paid meticulous attention to reducing friction within our mechanical system between axles and the frame, ensuring smooth operation and optimal performance. 📈 Maximized Slope: By carefully adjusting the slope of our mechanism, we maximized the potential energy transfer, while allowing us to still maintain control of the payload with minimum contact. 🔗 Unique Interlocking Toothpick Delivery System: One of the highlights of our design was the incorporation of a unique interlocking toothpick delivery system, which provided precision and stability in ball movement when transferring between the ramps and conveyor. 🔩 Focus on Torque: Recognizing the importance of torque in our setup, we utilized a larger spool to enhance torque output, resulting in more efficient ball lifting. 📏 Surpassing Expectations: Not only did our system lift the ping pong ball to the specified height, but it also surpassed expectations by lifting twice the anticipated height, showcasing the effectiveness of our design approach. 💡 Minimal Operational Weight: Despite the impressive performance, our system operated efficiently with just 40g of mass, only 20% of the mass required to run other designs. 👏 Huge thanks to our dedicated team members; Grace Kallitsis, Mia Ubovic, and Kaitlin Lee, who contributed their skills and expertise to make this project a success! #UniversityofWaterloo #DesignDays #STEM #MechanicalSystems
