  • ARCH:ID Best Booth Awards Winner 2024

ARCH:ID is Indonesia’s most awaited annual architecture forum and trade event organized by Indonesian Institute of Architect (IAl) in collaboration with CIS Exhibition. This industry-focused event present a host of activities and programs that serves as effective platform for place-makers and stakeholders in architecture and built industry to congregate, collaborate, and connect.

Kinematic Pavilion is a kinetic installation that fosters a dynamic relationship between architecture and movement. Is it possible to create a transformable space that adapts to a range of community activities? Inspired by the camera aperture, our installation seamlessly shifts from an open to enclosed circular space, offering a 360-degree backdrop for immersive experiences.

People and performers are seen as living art, interacting with architecture and becoming part of the installation. A kinetic system enhances the backdrop by revealing warm light in the shape of elegant wipes and sparkles.

The collaboration also involves experimenting with a range of sustainable materials like patinated copper cladding, engineered wood veneer, and woven blinds fabric waste.

Kinematic Pavilion showcases a synergy of architectural creativity, sustainable practices, and technological integration, inviting communities to actively shape their environment.

On view 22-25 February 2024 in ICE BSD, Jakarta, Indonesia.

Capabilities

Focus Area

Blockchain Creative Labs (BCL), FOX’s technology research and development arm, is on a mission to shape the future of content creation, distribution, and monetization by connecting creators and communities using innovative technology.

Whatever.co teamed up with KUDOS and a large cohort of producers to launch the BCL brand at the SXSW festival in March, 2022, in Austin, Texas. KUDOS was put in charge of creating a new visual branding system for BCL that was then applied to all aspects of the BCL House venue at SXSW. This included everything from a logo to a Web3-inspired website, lenticular badges, event posters, wayfinding graphics, animated POAP NFTs, Dolly Parton’s Dollyverse, and letterpress cards for the exclusive gala dinner—all aimed at delivering an immersive experience that spotlighted FOX’s new foray into the world of blockchain.

Cornell Tech Inauguration Book

Cornell Tech

Capabilities

Focus Area

Client

The Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute at Cornell Tech is a place for dynamic experimentation, where the boundaries of academia are expanded to integrate technology, business, law, and design in service of economic impact and greater societal good.

We were tasked with designing a keepsake book and construction-fence display for the inauguration of the Institute’s campus in September 2017. The book’s cover features a T-shaped die cut revealing details of the Bloomberg Center, one of the campus’s architecture highlights. A gatefold map of Roosevelt Island highlights future plans for the campus’s development. For the campus opening, we designed a 632-foot fence covering an ongoing construction site, with materials identifying the architect behind the building under construction.

Techpolitan Branding & Space

Techpolitan

Capabilities

Focus Area

Client

Headquartered in Jakarta, Indonesia, Techpolitan is a digital hub built on four pillars: entertainment, education, employment, and empowerment. Techpolitan seeks to cultivate youngsters’ passion for gaming as a positive driver to develop a technology-literate society through mentorship, talent placement, and seed funding.

For the organization’s branding and space, we designed a typographic system that drew inspiration from the appearance of an onscreen pixel glitch. In our design, these pixel bits become a dynamic graphic element that expresses Techpolitan’s graphic identity in interactions with its logotype, signage, motion graphics, and various communications.

The Action to Catalyze Tech (ACT) Report is an ever-evolving repository for accountability and engagement in the tech industry, created in response to an industry-wide call to action to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in the sector. 

KUDOS created a comprehensive PDF report hosted on a responsive website that features ever-expanding video archives of talks on this topic. We incorporated a call to action for engagement and accountability, along with multimedia integration and annual updates to reflect the organization’s current summit. Engaging visual elements like illustrations and color blocks were used to offset the heavy amount of information, making the report accessible and visually appealing.
