Innovation and design, two terms that are undoubtedly closely related and it is that doing different things leads to achieving different results, being there where innovation plays a key role when it comes to achieve bold designs, cutting-edge and breaking with any paradigm.
7 examples where design is strictly related to innovation
We have taken these examples from Barcelona Design Center, from where these incredible projects were given.
Creation of an interactive “flips-dots” panel to connect with Big Data
This innovative design was presented at the Mobile World Congress 2017 and it is a giant flips-dot screen that is also interactive, capable of detecting external images, which allows people to interact with the content on it.
Through this, the individual had the opportunity to feel and assimilate how far Big Data can go; designers for their part leave the doors open to other creations with the demonstration that it is possible to humanize the macro data.
Reprap project, self-replicating 3D printer
Through the Rep-rap project, it is about achieving the creation of a team with the ability to self-copy with a focus on fast models and manufacturing, of the versions obtained so far is the latest "Mendel”, A fairly small copier that achieves relatively large prints despite its size.
Innovative designs such as these give way to the manufacture of equipment and accessories applicable in many areas, in the scientific for example they make it possible to create digital prosthesis prototypes until reaching the ideal model for the patient.
Arduino
Their newest project unites the computer boards created by themselves in an environment of free hardware and software, to make way for their creation "smartcitizen.me”And that consists of a platform that gives access to the inhabitants of a city, so that this report on the quality of the air in their surroundings in real time with the aim of improving the controls of the environment where they live.
In this project the base is the design of signage and interfaces. This can be put into operation in so-called smart cities that are gradually filling public spaces.
Playing with the light
This project called “Light Kinetics, in the loop" study Espada and Santa Cruz, focuses its innovation works on experimenting the behavior of light controlling it with a physical simulator.
Result impressive the effect that occurs by placing a small electrical sensor in a bulb called to collect the force of a small blow to create a particle of light that migrates throughout the installation, opening up endless possibilities to experiment with installations.
The cookbook, ecology and shared design
A great recipe platform opens to promote participatory designs that promote ideas of how to make ourselves, things starting from recyclable materials to give life to a variety of designs with different functionalities, although its focus is on product design.
When the museum is the hard drive
This interesting design proposal that goes hand in hand with Solimán Lópezaims to creatively recreate on your computer's hard drive a digital museum, which contains all work that can be represented in this way with the aim of conceptualizing how a museum can itself be art.
Undoubtedly a sample of how spaces and innovation can coincide.
Wearables, an opportunity to innovate
This project called MAQUILA R4 (MR4) and carried out by Amor Muñoz, consists of the manufacture of textile electronic circuits that adapt to the tech apparel, with a very particular stamp that is given by the applications that it has created classified as innovative due to the way they are mixed with textile elements.
This creative leaned on a small portable machine through which she became known in Mexico, in a kind of door to door activity, such as manufacturing textile circuits.
