I want to share with you such a cool concept that I as a creative, anyone who likes to change up the game, and any one who appreciates interior design can truly get inspired by. Supermachine Studio in Bangkok, Thailand is a group of talented and incredibly imaginative architects who recently designed the interior space of two floors of one of Bangkok University’s new buildings created by the 49 Group /. The Bangkok University Creative Center (BUCC) includes a workshop, library, exhibition space, viewing room and office. The truly remarkable thing about this project is that the BUCC was commissioned by the government as part of their goal to “transform the country’s economy from agricultural and industrial into the creative economy. To encourage creativity, communication and experimentation, the BUCC facility needed to be open, playful, expressive and flexible.” Said TheCoolhunter.net (one of my fav inspirational websites).

This space is not only those things, it is bright, inspiring and INTERACTIVE! Supermachine created a “Lo-Fi Pixel Wall” at the entrance of the building, covering 180 square meters and made with 10,000 custom revolving plastic quadra-fragments. The sides are covered in pink, blue, green and yellow; students can unite each to create color patterns, words, images or any kind of inspirational art, proving the concept of fluid thought translating into things.

The main space for students to work, on computers or just at desks an open “spaceship like pod” that students can further enact the concept of fluidity.

It is amazing that the Bangkok government had commissioned this to the point that they recognize the incredible importance of creative enterprises as a fuel to enhance their economy… Things have really changed since the “great recession” and now even governments have a whole new perspective on what is important. Cheers to YOU, the creatives, the brilliants, the daring and the new thinkers. You have changed our world, so fast, and it is only going to continue with the force of rocket power or as fast as a new generation of iThings will hit the market!

Hope that inspires you!
