We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Shakes about their original and creative Automated Immigration Terminal design work. Shakes is an award-winning industrial designer, that makes our world a better place with their original automated immigration terminal works.
Shakes ("Shakes") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work CVision MBAS 1 Automated Immigration Terminal. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
Shakes : In order to create a better user experience our external Design language was defined by two contrasting values: sturdy but soft. We wanted users to feel at ease when being asked to use a security device without human operators.
Shakes : In contrast to MBAS2, MBAS 1 was designed as a more advanced looking terminal that could have a place at international border crossings such as airports. Its unibody Design keeps everything compact and utilitarian without looking too intimidating.
Shakes : With MBAS2 currently in development stage, MBAS1 will soon be put for consideration due to its award winning status.
Shakes : The Design project lasted for 3 months.
Shakes : The Design was commissioned by our client Chanwanich Company Limited.
Shakes : The Design will be produced and managed by Chanwanich Company Limited.
Shakes : Chanwanich is one of Thailand silent leaders in technology which naturally inspired is to work with them.
Shakes : I'd say that for this Design I was probably most inspired by Dieter Rahms whom I met at a Design Conference in Bangkok.
Shakes : This is a business to government or private security product. Of course it will be used by all sorts of travelers which is why it is equipped with multiple language options.
Shakes : It's milestone in Design when it come to this industry's Design choices.
Shakes : MBAS stands for Multi-Biometric-Aquisition-System.
Shakes : Sketching and CAD.
Shakes : The integration of all technical components in this unibody cut out Design that also features a removable fingerprint unit for easy maintenance or other attachments.
Shakes : All internal engineering was developed in house at shakes.
Shakes : MBAS1 utilizes modern technology to transform the way we cross borders. In this case technology provides the means to make that change. However, it's also technology that often scares us from understanding it fully. This is why we took to designing a terminal that looked welcoming and friendly.
Shakes : Partly, we conducted a survey to determine the right angle for the display.
Shakes : The product is in its development stage still.
Shakes : We came across the A' Design award by accident while looking at an affiliated Designer.
Shakes : Working with Chanwanich for MBAS1 finally allowed us to create an outstanding Design for an industry that's never had any outstanding contribution to its field.
