editorial’s note: Yes, we took a break. Only because we were in the pursuit of innovation.

Last month, in our office, we were invested in the art of undoing, redoing, and doing. From the basic craft making to researching and thinking with the digital age, we were reinventing our identity, our brand, our thoughts and our methodology.

We were inspired by the innovation initiatives we went through and we would like to dedicate the issue to the our humble beginnings towards innovation. xoxo

No longer does the invitation “let’s do drinks” have the same connotations as it did before. Today’s bars break the convention of the yesteryear- no more is the experience limited to sitting in cosy, dimly lit interiors sipping on Chardonnay, or downing cocktails to the beat of the latest Euro trance mix. Instead, the concept of the bar is challenged and taken to another level in these different instances, where the experience of the customer is transformed through interactions with the space- be it active or passive. An exploration into these innovative bars reveals alternative functions and interesting spaces can transform the dynamics and perceptions of the user.

THE LAUNDROMAT CAFE

H.R. GIGER MUSEUM BAR

In a society where time is of the essence, nobody likes to spend it idly waiting, watching the spin cycle of dirty clothes go round and round. The Laundromat Cafe, which doubles as a bar once the lights go out, responds to our constant need for stimulation and reflects our desire to be distracted from boring and mundane tasks. Taking the style of an old school diner, the bar and cafe offers activities such as board games, a library, as well as the usual food and beverages to help users pass the time while waiting for the timer on the dryer to go off.

The H. R. Giger Museum Bar transports the user into an alternate universe through the surreal and haunting atmosphere of the cave-like interiors.

Reminiscent of the Sedluc Ossuary, or the Church of Bones in Czech Republic, the skeletal structure consisting of arching vertebrae pays homage to the artist who helped to create the set of ‘Alien’.

Bar-goers are submersed into the sci-fi atmosphere, alluding to the allegory of Jonah and the whale as the otherworldly sensation of being internalized by a fossilized beast overwhelms the senses and translates into an unforgettable aspect of the experience. The thematic decor creates a theatrical effect that detaches the user from the external world, allowing them to escape into the fantasy that encapsulates the space.

MiNiBAR

DOODLEBAR

Ever had one of those moments where you’ve looked at your bartender, suavely juggling bottles while casually mixing your drink and chatting up the pretty girl in a blue dress, and thought, “Hold my beer, I can do that!” Well, here’s your chance. Located in Amsterdam by the Prinsengracht canal, a new concept of a bartenderless bar is introduced in MiNiBAR, the world’s first self-serve bar. As a patron you receive full autonomy over your service and drinks the minute you leave your credit card (and dignity) at the door.

Some people find inspiration through music, while others, through nature. But what about inspiration found at the bottom of a glass?

By removing the presence of the bartender, the dynamics of the space is transformed as control and movement flows dependantly to the convenience of the user. Customers get a key to one of the 45 private mini bars mounted to form a feature wall, and from there are free to try out all the bartending tricks they’ve wanted to try, at their own risk.

London’s DoodlaBar features the grown-up version of the colouring menus for children, where customers are encouraged to take their creativity out on the walls, floors and ceilings, and even the clothes of the staff members. As a cafe by day, the space transforms into an art bar by night- while the retro decor receives constant makeovers through the interactions between the user and space. The VW Beetle, chaise lounge, sled and ping-pong table are no longer just features, but are blank canvases for the artistic expressions of the customers.

Perhaps the magic of this place is not only discovered through the buzz of a great cocktail, but also the changes it undergoes visit after visit, as different patrons leave their mark to create the unique tapestry that becomes a reflection of both mood and memory of the space.

ÖLBRYGGAN From Us With Love, a studio in Stockholm, has designed the Ölbryggan, which translates to “navy pier beer garden”. This waterside bar is an outdoors extension of the its beer exhibition, where avid fans of the drink can enjoy the Swedish summer while sipping on their favourite lager.

At the back of the bar, 15 different micro-brewery beers are served from the tap, while also being set on display in individual glass bottles above. The bar is also made convertible for both wet weather and dry, with a retractable fabric canopy that can alter the spatial experience that is different from the indoor exhibition.

The long tables encourage conversation between the drinkers, as brewers mingle amongst patrons and make small talk amidst the backdrop of plants and the soothing view of the water. The atmosphere of the garden, juxtaposed against the busy city is perhaps the crux of the design- reminding the customers of the connection between of production and consumption-something that is often lost in today’s urban context in that is recaptured in a meaningful dialogue between user and their surroundings.

An instagram addict, with a passion for the cliched pseudo-profundity photography. Inspired

by the legendary Hipster Barbie (@socalitybarbie), Umar’s addiction with capturing moments in the moody aesthetic style, has always been debatable. But here’s why the photography trend is here to stay and why you should consider getting on board with it.

Like any other photos on Instagram,

travel shots in the photo-sharing app are carefully manicured and have a unique style of imagery.

Travellers are drawn to the aesthetic trend in these photos that evoke certain moods: misty mountains, a tiny person on a rock, a cityscape from above, or feet sticking out in front of scenery. And because of the little details included to describe what is happening in that moment, the photos give a sense of allure of the unknown that allows one to attach their own value on to it. On the other hand, the spontaneity of the app allows travellers to follow individuals on their adventures and travel around the world with a glimpse of the unknown – which proves to be popular for curious creatures in us.

Instagram has captured the imagination of a new generation of travellers despite the many disconcerted fictitious Instagram travel accounts. One could easily discount the app and list the negativities particularly for its cliché pseudo-profundity contents. However, the app’s impact on the world cannot be underestimated. Instagram is moulding the way million of people relate to travel and we, curious hospitality designers, should pay heed.

photo: @ithehautepursuit

There is a paradigm shift in the culture now where if one doesn’t document their stay or travel and put it online, it is likely that it didn’t happen. Fret not, here comes Instagram to save the world! A visual diary for many travellers, the difference between the app and a normal blogging is the instant nature of documenting the experience as if you’re living in the moment as compared to the time and effort needed to be writing in front of a computer.

According to Linda Fox, deputy editor at travel tech site Tnooz, travel photography remains among the most viewed content on social media. A Facebook survey on the other hand released results that 83% of us now use the net while on holiday and almost half of us post snaps to the site when they get home.

Visual media consultancy getchute.com, compiled statistics showing more than 3.8 million travel-related photos were posted to Instagram this year alone.

The trend for uploading holiday photos on social media has led one travel company to include a personal photographer to document your trip and deliver a daily supply of Instagram-friendly images for you to share online. El Camino Travel curates authentic experiences with a professional personal photographer included in the package to generally make one’s holiday better than you ever will. Well, at least a more beautiful one. It is one of a growing number of travel companies capitalising on the desire among travellers to capture their trip in stunning photographs and, perhaps more significantly, share them online.

Travel brands, hoteliers and tourist boards have been increasingly capitalising on social media particularly Instagram as a way to promote themselves – from increased online presence and larger audiences to greater customer engagement. It is now common for them to commission Instagrammers with big followings to travel around a destination and stay in their hotel, sending feeds of beautiful images to the millions of people. In return, the app has managed to let access to a whole new world of discovery for people who always have the desire to see these places that they may never have access to previously.

But the most considerable observation is the app’s huge effect it has on its users who are heavily influenced by what they see. Followers are convinced to consider these destinations when they are planning for their next holiday vacation especially when they’re seeing more people repeatedly going to the same place in their feed. More so, some are travelling there not just to travel, but to mimic and capture the photos they’ve seen on Instagram. The app has definitely facilitated unlikely connections with people and places around the world.

photo: @elcaminotravel

So why does it concerns us designers? There is a desire for travellers to discover these unlikely, unique places and to go beyond just what’s cool or where the celebrities are staying. With travellers influenced by what they see in the world, coupled by hoteliers and travel brands jumping onto the social media wagon, there is eminent need to provide more than just the best spot for a perfect wedding shot. It’s designing and providing the most dramatic scene and elements for capturing pseudo-profound moments.

And, there is still no sign that these trend of travel shots are reaching saturation point. Travel and tourism brand accounts are republishing these photos on their feed and they are continuously followed and liked by millions of people. People just love seeing beautiful places they dream of visiting. And that, my fellow designers, is not getting old.

If you’re still not convinced with the extent to which the photo-sharing app has change the way we travel and possibly design, Hipster Barbie (@socalitybarbie) with her growing 600,000 followers mark, is the best ludicrous copycat account to help you understand!

MAN ON A MISSION

NOVEMBER 2015

NO.THE.GOO

GOOGASPACE

For many, the word “Mission” conjures up an image of people from a far off land descending upon some unsuspecting ethnic group with the intention of converting them to their particular religious belief. This somewhat simplistic view has often been the case, however Missions are far more than a platform for evangelism; Missions make many things possible.

In many rural, undeveloped and fringe urban areas throughout S.E Asia (and the world) local, regional and federal agencies have a very limited impact, often there are limited medical services and educational facilities plus rudimentary sanitation and community support facilities. Local residents are dependent on assistance and support from NGO’s, Churches and volunteers. Initially such rampant poverty and limitations seem overwhelming, however the assistance of well organized volunteer groups can have a positive, long term, impact.

The Mission of New Life Christian Church (NLCC) is to share our love for God and our love of People with those less fortunate than us in a tangible and meaningful manner. The primary focus of our missions is to provide basic healthcare, children’s programs and participate in community building projects. Participating in a missions trip often requires one to step outside of our normal comfort zone and it usually causes us to ask: what do I have to offer?

GOOGASPACE

In May of 2014, Jean and I volunteered to be part of a team from our Church plus two sister Churches in Indonesia. Together, we traveled to the small island of Miosinde in East Papua, Indonesia to continue the work and projects that have been going on for the past 8 years ago.

Over that period of time, mission’s teams have built six communal bath houses/toilet facilities, a church and a 4 room school, they have helped dig wells, install pumps and improve home construction techniques. The teams also provided simple cellophane packaging equipment to enable the islanders to package and sell their salted fish further afield.

In spite of the school it remains difficult for the government to provide a permanent teacher on the island, therefore one of the volunteers from the Church in Bandung spent almost two years living on the island to teach the local children how to speak, read and write Bahasa.

By returning on a regular basis and consistently meeting the needs of the islanders, the Missions team leaders earned the trust of the Village Chief

ON.THE GOO

and the tribal elders, they ultimately allowed four of the islands teenagers to attend University in Jakarta and Bandung, two of whom have graduated and are working in the region as a mid-wife and a teacher.

During the four days there, the medical team treated over 800 people at three different clinics, on Miosinde and two other villages in the area, we also worked on various building projects and ran both formal and informal children’s programs. The latter was my thing, I brought along four Frisbees and six small plastic buckets to “teach” the kids two of my favorite pastimes, playing Frisbee and making drip sandcastles.

Although none of us could understand what the other was saying, fun and enjoyment are a universal language and we were able to convey so much with so little.

We left the island happy that we were able to make a positive impact in the lives of others and thankful for the impact the experience had on us. As I reflect on those few days on Miosinde and why it was so meaningful, it comes down to three words:

NOVEMBER 2015

NO.THE.GOO

Compassion, having a heart for people and a

willingness to do whatever you can to help, no matter how menial. It is also important know something about the people you are going to be with (help), know something about their culture, social norms and sensitivities.

Integrity, be yourself, be patient, smile and

laugh a lot, but be sensitive and honoring, know your place as a guest and be respectful.

Consistency, is the key to having a lasting im-

pact and making positive change, missions trips allow for regular visitation, follow through and ongoing support.

Meaningful change and impact takes time and yes our mission’s trips do provide opportunities to share our faith and belief, a message of hope that is based on tangible commitment, support and genuine interest in improving the lives of others and a believe that anything is possible.

WATG has participated in CANstruction for two years and it was a perfect opportunity to be involved with the Orange County Food Bank in order to help fight hunger. WATG has always been proud to be part of CANstruction due to the team building aspect of the process and the positive outreach to the community. As Monica Cuervo said, “it takes a village” to build something great.

In late September, the Irvine Team took home 3 awards - Structural Ingenuity, People’s Choice and Most Cans Award. We asked Michael Chang to tell us more on the winning structure!

G: Why Baymax?

In the beginning we had a few design charrettes, where everyone brought images and sketches that were relevant to our goals. We aimed for the design to be structurally challenging, trendy in order to engage the audience and the opportunity to utilize as many cans as possible.

After going through many design alternatives, Baymax stood out with his full belly as the perfect fit. The character is a highly popular fictional hero, and the idea was that he could help with fighting hunger today for generations of tomorrow.

G: Were there any other characters that did not make the cut?

Other cartoon characters such as Winnie the Poo, Minions, and Bruce the shark from Finding Nemo were considered.

We also had an idea to take an item that you would usually find small and enlarge it proportionally to give an unexpected wow effect. In addition, the team was interested in a design that connects with social media through opportunities for selfies. It would have been interesting to see if people would virally utilize our creation through the social media and raise awareness of CANstruction.

GOOGASPACE

ON.THE GROUND

G: The winning collaboration with R.D Olson Construction Group The goal was clear once we selected the design. There wasn’t any clash because we played off of each other’s expertise. We couldn’t have done it without the construction approach of RD Olson Construction Group. Especially mid-way through the test build process, when RD Olson Construction Group used their field resource to precisely cut out the plywood templates to structurally stabilize what cardboard couldn’t. In addition, the collaboration was even more powerful when we both brought our resources in order to collect the most funds and ultimately winning the award Most Cans - totaling about 11,640 cans and People’s Choice Award.

G: How much of a challenge was it to implement the structure within the constraints of the can?

A 9 feet tall structure made out of cans was definitely a challenge. The initial structural design was to use two large columns made out of stacked large tomato cans that went through each template up to Baymax’s shoulder. Separating the arms from the body gave an animated and more dynamic look to the sculpture. Initially, we wanted to suspend the arms from the shoulders, but during our practice builds we came to realize that an extra support was needed to stabilize the structure from tipping over due to its cantilevering belly mass. As a result, we had to add two smaller columns, one on each side of the arms.

G: On outshining the other structures...

Our team knew from the start, that we wanted to follow the rules down to the T. The design team only wanted to use cans for our structure, even the eyes for Baymax and baby Baymax were made out of cans. Other sculptures used metal rods, plastic bottles, bags of rice, potato chip bags, and other junk food. We took pride in staying true to the challenge of CANstruction to use only cans. Furthermore, our structure surpassed others by including 11,650 cans and reaching 9 feet in height.

G: It’s the year of innovation, what’s innovative of the project?

During our design phase, we were informed that another team was building a Baymax.

With that in mind, we were determined to go above and beyond to create the right proportion, pixilation, and color. We accomplished this by picking the perfect white, red, and blue sardine cans. These particular sardine cans gave us the ideal height and width to create the right proportion and pixilation.

Also, the cans do not have a matte paper label like a typical tuna can, but a glossy monolithic color with limited labeling that distracts the overall pure color picture. The glossiness of the sardine cans gave the sculpture a richer and more vibrant color than a typical round can could achieve.

With the 70th Anniversary of WATG, the SIngapore office planned a series of events focusing on the development of talents and leaders. One of the events was an external workshop with the innovative learning consultant - Hyper Island.

Last September WATG Singapore were having a very fun-tastic Workshop at Hyper island organised by Krystal and the Innovative Team. Hyper Island is a learning hub to develop and groom talents to face the demand of the digital age. Led by Jonathan Briggs, an academic director and Christina Andersson, managing director, the workshop started with a short lecture on the importance of digital network in supporting the market growth.

In his lecture, Briggs cited BlaBlaCar as an example of companies capitalising on the digital world. It is an organised hitchhiking service, which allows drivers with otherwise empty vehicles to announce their intended journeys online for prospective travellers to join. However drivers aren’t allowed to profit from BlaBlaCar. In other words, you never know what you’re going to get with BlaBlaCar. The only sound clues to each driver’s personality are four logos beneath their photograph, representing how chatty they are (measured between one and three bla’s), whether they listen to music, whether they allow dogs and whether they allow smoking.

The workshop then led to an exercise that required us to choose our positions on a bell curve graph on the floor which represents the technology adaptation life cycle - from the tech-loving pioneer who is among the first to embrace new technology as soon as it arrives on the market to those who refuse technology. The exercise questions what causes a person to be an early adopter or a late adopter? Most of us claimed ourselves as an early adopter and put our clients to be a late adopter. As such, the conclusion questions what and how could we help to push our clients to step up to the next level?

At the end of workshop we were assigned in 5 groups Retail, F&B, Offices, Hotel, and Cities. With the methodologies learnt from the lecture and exercises we were expected to envision the future of each categories with the inclusion of innovative technology.

Rule 2. Dare to share, provide some insight into who you are, your interests, your passions, or that part of you people don’t normally see…and I am not referring to anatomy!

Rule 3. Be selective, if it’s not a good picture…don’t use it, no matter how good the event, location etc.

Rule 4. It’s OK to make fun of family and friends…but if you dish it out, you gotta be able to take it!

Last question, Social media shaping design and destinations.

I’m big on Social and my favorite media is still the radio, music definitely has a huge impact on culture…now back to your question: The immediacy of sharing our experiences and the places we frequent or visit, enables everyone to inform, influence and shape how destinations are perceived.

We share what we like, what we enjoy and that which captivates us, conversely we also broadcast what we don’t like, what doesn’t deliver according to our expectations and what disappoints us. The extensive use of media to research and evaluate our opportunities underscores how powerful such opinions are and how they will continue to influence the future of hospitality, leisure, travel and entertainment.

Rule 5. Don’t just be a “viewer” participate or quit!

Rule 6. Enough is enough, limit the number of posts to 4 – 5 a day and don’t make it too commercial.

Special dispensation for travellers who are visiting cool and exotic places…that’s exotic!
