The Future Design Challenge is an effort to solve problems through the power of design. This challenge is for innovative students or other designers who want to help create the technology of the future.
Agnes Filica Giovinna is a student from BINUS International, Graphic Design and New Media, Interactive Digital Media. As someone who was raised in Indonesia while being familiar with both Asian and Western influences — she is a graphic designer of logical and imaginative caliber. Today, she sees herself as a designer of many shapes and colors.
Agnes created a concept called SOUND BRICK. A wall made of foam, that absorbs sound waves and converts them into electrical energy to diminish the use of fossil fuels. Compared to solar panels and wind turbines, it doesn’t require as much maintenance, materials, and a huge land to function. People can install SOUND BRICK in their homes or offices and enjoy their electricity in a renewable-friendly way.
As a result of the strict evaluation by four judges, Agnes won the Gold Award with “SOUND BRICK”
Congratulation Agnes!
