@stats_feed Start with WHY? Let’s pullute the ocean for gold so that we can create more bling in the market?

@elonmusk Neither. Instagram is like picture books, so I’m giving Twitter a chance to go back to reading more

@dariusdan What do you do when your crib is running out of space? Trying to sell them now as suggested

Tiny homes display some of the best architectural designs simply because they challenge what is considered “normal”. Modern life is characterized by its boldness, and these homes mirror this sentiment. https://t.co/YHSZiYXpGP

I try not to see the world from a one-sided perspective, and neither does @Hitachicool_GB. The duality in the design means a connection between two elements is created: engineering excellence, thoughtful user interfaces, & powerful designs. Living Harmony.

AI will never be able to replace humans in design fully. While AI has the potential to make the design process efficient, it still needs a human-defined parameter to start this process, to have accountability, and to create in a certain style. #ai #aidesign

Is craftsmanship an objective quality? Just like beauty, it can be determined by the eye of the beholder. More in my recent article: https://t.co/gjkscFdqNQ #design

Leadership styles are always an interesting point of conversation, and typically I think I would fall into the Creative Leadership style.

But, I like to look at my leadership style more simply: I like to take everything that works, and toss away everything that doesn't.

I've been thinking about AI recently and it's impact on design. @Shutterstock is to start selling AI-generated content on their website instead of standard photographs. It’s a bold move - bound to shake up the commercial photography industry.

I find it fascinating to see how a space used for a specific event, like the Olympics, can be transformed into a futuristic city. It’s a great opportunity to embrace new sustainable methods, transport options, and green spaces. https://t.co/bf63QBMf4T

To create a premium brand of any kind - commercial, industrial, or both, we must understand the balance of power between three crucial elements: design, the C-suite, and the stakeholder. More on my thoughts about "Design and the Brand Trust Bank", here: https://t.co/h7o1lmrMRq

As always, it is an honor to receive an award. The @reddot Design Award for both Hitachi #airCloud Select and The Hitachi Cooling and Heating Icon Library show that @Hitachicool_GB is committed to excellence in design and user experience.

[Lawrence Chu @lawrencechu_com]

Generally, good craftsmanship is in the details. The details are how brands communicate the key message that design and craftsmanship are deliberate with nothing extraneous. Everything is intentional.

Design must continually challenge social norms and thought. Radical Design is an interesting and provocative genre where it continues to encourage "reflection and spark a debate on fundamental social issues.”

We organized a team-building day with the local team here in Shanghai last week. We did some team-building exercises and spent some time getting to know each other outside of the office. 
It was a great time developing the strength of our team. I already look forward to the next.

The Japanese saying “Isseki nichou” loosely translates to achieving two things with one action. This is a similar feeling that I want to create with the designs and innovation at @Hitachicool_GB with multi-purpose functionality.

[Lawrence Chu @lawrencechu_com]

I love seeing new, sustainable innovations in the HVAC like this #ICER produced by @MIT, which is advanced cooling technology without electricity. It is always fascinating to learn new ways of doing what we do best here at @HitachiCool_GB.
