SAY GOODBYE TO BAD PRINTING EXPERIENCE WITH THE LATEST MODELS FROM HP – HP DESIGNJET STUDIO AND HP DESIGNJET T200 & T600 SERIES – THAT WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH THE EASIEST PRINTING EXPERIENCE YOU HAVE EVER KNOWN
ในคลิปวิดีโอที่ทุกท่านจะได้ดูต่อไปนี้ จะโชว์ให้เห็นว่าทั้งสองทีมออกแบบ อย่าง Hypothesis และทีม Vaslab Architecture นั้นไม่ได้ลดระดับความเข้มข้น และความจริงจังในการทำงานออกแบบลงไปเลยแม้แต่น้อย ติดตาม “ผลลัพธ์” ของกิจกรรมเวิร์คช็อป UNIQUE THE SPACE ได้ทาง art4d ในเร็วๆ นี้
The public space development workshop for Choduk Community of Bangkok’s Samphantawong district reached its climax in September of this year despite the ongoing pandemic being an obvious obstacle of the entire process.
The video you are about to see will reveal how the two design teams, Hypothesis and Vaslab Architecture, uncompromisingly delivered the much needed intensity and seriousness to their design development. Follow up on the final result of the ‘UNIQUE THE SPACE’ workshop soon from art4d.
Evidently, a good environment has direct effects on a person’s professional performance and productivity. Having realized that, THE GREAT ROOM, a co-working space brand with branches in Singapore, Thailand and Hong Kong, places great emphasis on the spatial design to allow users to better focus on their tasks while simultaneously creating positive impression. The space’s flexibility accommodates humans’ physical postures and stimulates interactions between users, which collectively contributes to the brand’s thriving success. Following is the materialization of the 3,000-square meter program on the 25th-26th floor of Gaysorn Tower into a co-working space, meeting rooms and private offices of various sizes.
Nevertheless, with users being the heart of a good design, feedback is an equally important factor. This article will be featuring users’ thoughts and opinions to a simple question of ‘what optimizes one’s efficiency?’

“There is always one more layer of the onion – and something new you can learn from any experience, no matter how ‘familiar’ it may seem”.
A LIST OF THINGS THAT MAKE ME WORK BETTER
MASSAGE CHAIR
One of our crazier and spontaneous purchases was a massage chair. We both use it everyday to after work and putting the kids to bed. A well used and much valued addition to balancing work/life.
FAVOURITE READS
Transition by sci-fi author Iain Banks, fun detective novels, In the Dragon’s Shadow by Sebastian Strangio and Life and Death are Wearing Me Out by Mo Yan. Step out of your comfort zone and try new things.
“Step out of your comfort zone from time to time, try new things, retain that intellectual curiosity – and keep a balance between work/life, and the serious and the frivolous”.
SUPERHERO ACCESSORY
I have a few favourite ties, mostly from British designer Paul Smith that I wear when I want to feel confident.
KEEPING IT REAL
Be yourself. I don’t let the title ‘Ambassador’ go to my head. It’s great whilst it lasts but once you stop being an Ambassador you still have to do your own cooking, cleaning and washing. Kids help keep it real!
RESTORATIVE POWERS
Lots of cuddles from my toddlers and a ‘diplomatic strength’ Gin and Tonic rejuvenate me!
JIRAYUT SRUPSRISOPA Founder and CEO / BitKub
“Leadership learning is a lifetime activity. Good leaders seek out development opportunities that will help them learn new skills. I think these kinds of leaders are built, rather than born”.

MORNING HACK
An espresso, walk, news and team catch-ups. As Group CEO, I allot time for everyone. Ten percent of that is for spontaneity. The best hack is wise time management , prioritising and eliminating distractions.
SAN FRANSISCO
I love San Francisco. The microclimates, food, scenery, civic culture, different neighborhoods, surrounding areas and the city’s history are a plus.
“Be a clock builder, not a time teller”.
-Jim Collins
BITKUB
The best investment I’ve made so far have been on people and resources at BitKub.
FOUNDER SUCCESS STORY
Sometimes things go accordingly, but not always. What’s important is we know how to learn to roll with the punches to keep the game in play.
IMPRESSIONS
Imparting knowledge is to leave an impression. Expect your audience to learn when you speak, and inspire them to listen and take action. Make them feel they belong.
THITIPORN SANGUANPIYAPAN
Executive Director / Luxellence Center
“Passion with full attention and awareness is the energy that drives me. It’s reflected in whatever I create”.
A LIST OF THINGS THAT MAKE ME WORK BETTER
A GOOD PLAN
I prioritise what needs to be done and what doesn’t, look at the big picture and plan the next few days. There’s less room for piddling because by then I can jump on one task after another.’
MEDIUM WULU
My Pavé diamond pendant in 18K rose gold, Wulu shaped echoing the cherished number eight from Qeelin brings me good luck for important business meetings. Wulu is the strongest expression of good fortune and positive energy.
BURGERS AND STEAKS
I have an irrational love for hamburger and steak.
LESSONS LEARNED
I initiated an overseas study exchange programme for a group of students. Scared of failing, I tried to manage all their living arrangements and their academics, and completely stressed myself out. I learnt very quickly that I had to let them handle life’s challenges themselves.
“No one is in charge of your happiness, except you”.
PRINCIPLES BY RAY DALIO
Have clear goals. Identify problems. Diagnose problems. Design a plan. Push completion.
“Lead by example with integrity and pride that inspires, builds trust and respect of others”.

I love being unleashed!
GRAIN
For a quick yummy & wholesome meal, I order from Grain. I love the Grilled Farm Fresh Chicken and Torched Salmon. Grain connects with all food delivery apps so I appreciate the convenience.
“Take care of the people, the products, and the profits — in that order. Taking care of the people is the most difficult of the three by far and if you don’t do it, the other two won’t matter “

KHAOYAI
My dad has a place in Khaoyai, a Unesco World Heritage Site and the largest national park in Thailand; a 3-hour drive from Bangkok. My hubby and I make a trip out there quite often.
YOUTUBE RABBIT HOLE
My favourite time waster is checking out interesting content on YouTube.
BECOMING BY MICHELLE OBAMA
Attributing her confidence to her parents, who let her ask questions and showed her true strength even during sickness, Michelle Obama reminds me that the best way to teach or mentor people is to lead by example.

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE CREATIVITY? The human instinct to find anything that helps you fix the problem or make things better.
ARTIST WHO FELL IN LOVE WITH BOOKS, Cover Design
DESCRIBE YOUR PRACTICE IN THREE WORDS. Positive, simple and not too logical
WHERE DO YOU GO, OR WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU GET STUCK ON A PROJECT Find some nearby stray cat to play with, watch a movies or play the PlayStation games.
WHAT PROJECT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF? Maybe the Bangkok Art & Culture Centre (BACC) logo, which I had won the competition 15 years ago. It’s so bad anyway (haha) but I don’t want to amend it. I just keep letting it as a personal history. Luckily someone helped to improve it right now. (Mr. Santi Lawrachawee)
CHAROEN KRUNG STORY On-site Illustration for Bangkok Design Week
IF YOU COULD INVITE ANY CREATIVE OUT FOR COFFEE, WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE AND WHY? This is really tough questions to answer, Mike Mills? He seems nice and I love his works. He has a good balance in everything he did, whether a movies or graphic works.

CAFÉ AMAZON SINGAPORE – JEWEL CHANGI AIRPORT
WHY Before we opened our office (around the beginning of 2015), many customers, especially restaurants, continuously assigned important projects to us. In 2016, we thought it was a good time to improve the customer care system to be more systematic in the form of a formal design company under the name “PRIVATE SCALE”.
HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE CREATIVITY? We deem that we are just a storyteller who tells stories of an owner to become a design by using simple language and communicates it to people so that they can sense and perceive the stories under space – material – shade and shadow. And in our view, storytelling is the heart of interior design.
CHALERMNIT ART DE MAISON
DESCRIBE YOUR PRACTICE IN THREE WORDS. We are the specific design office. We adhere to and comply with the code of conduct, that is, “DELIVER ON TIME”, persistently.
WHERE DO YOU GO, OR WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU GET STUCK ON A PROJECT When we get a stuck during a project, we don’t go anywhere. We can enjoy and have fun at work in the same place.
If we encounter a design problem, we just “stop working and relax” for a while because we know our brains need that.
CHONGJAROEN SUAN PLERN
WHAT PROJECT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF? Pardon me… this question it is hard to specify a particular work because each and every work makes us proud in a different context. However, I would like to answer that I am very proud of my career as an INTERIOR.
Because designing with storytelling is something so exciting – interesting and makes us have fun every day.
THE 3SIS HOTEL CHIANGMAI
IF YOU COULD INVITE ANY CREATIVE OUT FOR COFFEE, WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE AND WHY? I wish to enjoy a cup of coffee together with Robert J. Lang, to talk to him and imbue with passion about his Semi-Physics Origami in a quite café all day.
