Me
1984 AD
As a designer I focus on human centered design. The user is the most important part of the design and has to have the feeling that the product satisfies all the needs targeted by the design. In the Master course I explored this design approach as well as design with our impact on the environment. Integration of functionality, aestethics and technology in a design that satisfies the users in use and pleasing appeal. In projects and assignments I´m always on the lookout for challenges in functionality, technology and aesthetics. I´m easy going and flexible in my work. I can work on my own but will easily adapt to group work. Audentes fortuna juvat or Lady fortune favors the bold Which for me means that you have to take a leap into the unknown to create new and innovative ideas. Also in life you should take some risks to really get all out of life that there is. - Rakesh Soekhoe - rakesj@gmail.com - http://rakesj.weebly.com -

Design manifestation Context
In an exercise to research what the impact is of design in the public space I researched the design of the Atrium in The Hague. The layout is designed to keep the waiting people from getting bored and interact as the waiting time is usually long.
1984 AD The public space I designed the street furniture for was the station platform at station Moerwijk, The Hague. In this space people also have to wait and tend to avoid each other. I attempted to create furniture that would trigger interaction like the different objects do in the Atrium.
