DESIGN ACTION.BDG

what is design action?

DesignAction.bdg is an event held by Bandung Creative City Forum (BCCF), an independent organization that was established in 2008 by a number of creative communities and individuals in Bandung, whose activities focuses on programs that leave positive footprints in the city. DesignAction.bdg is among the programs that aim to do so; this time by employing the methods of Urban Acupuncture and Design Thinking.

DesignAction.bdg is a workshop-conference where participants will be actively involved during their event. Everyone will participate in a two-days workshop and, relevant to the subject of urban mobility, will experience Bandung and its transportation systems and surroundings. The results of this workshop will be formulated as recommendations, which, hopefully, will be realized in the near future.

DesignAction.bdg gained its name from when BCCF was invited to present about their creative intervention in Bandung at d.confestival, the 1st international conference on Design Thinking, which was held at Hasso-Plattner Institute of Design Thinking/ d.school Potsdam (Germany) in September 2012. As most BCCF activities have been conducted spontaneously from one program to another, without putting too much consideration in the consequences, BCCF refers to its programs as a series of “action”, rather than “thinking”. Hence the title “DesignAction.bdg” for BCCF presentation material at d.confestival (.bdg is added, to identify Bandung’s creative product).

The experience of BCCF at d.confestival at HPI d.school has left such an impression that it has become the main trigger for BCCF to hold DesignAction.bdg, which will be held on October 1-3, 2013. BCCF would like to bring the experience to Bandung, involving as many varieties of participants as possible, and experimenting with Urban Acupuncture and Design Thinking methods, in order to come up with fresh, innovative solutions for a number of urban issues.

Indonesia Ditipu Jepang: Kijang Innova Akan Dipasok dari India?

Dari semua produk line up PT Toyota Astra Motor (TAM), Kijang, Avanza, Rush, dan Fortuner yang diproduksi di Indonesia. Bahkan Kijang dikenal sebagai mobil kebanggan keluarga Indonesia, ketika pertama kali di release pada 1977 masih berupa pikap dan kini menjadi multi purpose vehicle (MPV) berkelas, konon tidak lagi diproduksi di dalam negeri. Malah akan diimpor dari luar. Hal itu mungkin saja, mengingat adanya perjanjian perdagangan bebas (free trade area/FTA) antara negara di kawasan Asean dengan India yang telah ditandatangani 13 Agustus 2009 lalu. Isinya, di antaranya adanya penurunan tarif impor produk (impor duty) untuk beberapa produk hingga nol persen berlaku antara 2013 hingga 2016. Salah satunya, otomotif. Imbasnya, mulai tumbuh wacana kemungkinan Kijang Innova akan dipasok dari India untuk pasar Indonesia. Hal ini diutarakan Wakil Presiden Direktur TAM Shinji Fujii saat bincang-bincangnya bersama KOMPAS.com, akhir pekan lalu. "Ini baru kemungkinan. Tapi kami akan ber...

Tibi & Dabo Robots For Public Spaces

Tibi and Dabo are 2 cute robots designed to provide a wide range of services to citizens in Barcelona’s public spaces. The final shape of Tibi & Dabo came from different conceptualization and development techniques, such as surveys, sociological, iconicity pyramids, and ethnographical tools. These robots are the result from collaboration between the School of Design ESDi and the Institute of Robotics and Industrial Informatics (IRI), who coordinated the European, funded URUS Project (Ubiquitous Networking Robotics in Urban Settings). Tibi & Dabo are here because the project URUS attempts to analyze and test the idea how robots can interact with human beings in a cooperative way. We can use robots to assist us like when we need transportation of goods or surveillance in urban areas in order to improve life quality.
