Hernán Gregorio, assistant professor and graduate director of industrial 1xbet online games login in the interior architecture and industrial 1xbet online games login department of the College of Architecture, Planning and 1xbet online games login at Kansas State University, received a Silver A' 1xbet online games login Award at the international 1xbet online games login competition A'1xbet online games login Award and Competition.

A' 1xbet online games login Award and Competition provides recipients with a worldwide platform to highlight their achievements and talents. The motto of the A' 1xbet online games login Awards is "Ars Futura Cultura," i.e., Arts Cultivate the Future, Arts for the Culture of Future. The vision is that the future is shaped by arts, 1xbet online games login and technology, thus the need for good 1xbet online games login for a better future.

The awarded product is a multifunctional work and desk manager that inspires a more organized, personalized, and productive work experience.

"The idea behind Balance is to use digital interfaces as inspiration to create a new hybrid experience for the user,"Gregorio said."The form and modular qualities of the 1xbet online games login evoke the digital touchscreen interfaces we use every day but with a tridimensional layer that creates a tactile and tangible experience. This new approach builds a bridge between the connectivity and structure of the digital environment and the physical experience of product."

The product consists of a canvas and six types of modules — surface, whiteboard, cork, Kanban, time and shelf — that magnetically attach to the canvas. The users can pick and choose the modules and materials that work best for their personality, work style and aesthetic preference at the same time that they can combine them to allow the use of productivity techniques such as Kanban and Pomodoro.

The product is based on research examining people's personalities, workplace environments and workflows, as well as flexibility and work management strategies.

"While we are all trying to find balance in our day to day it is fantastic to see our faculty also pushing this agenda in their own research,"said Professor Nathan Howe, head of the interior architecture and industrial 1xbet online games login department."Professor Gregorio's 1xbet online games login reflects the type of creativity to innovate that we strive to imbue into our students' 1xbet online games login process."

"I am honored to receive this award and I hope it inspires others to achieve a more balanced relationship between work and life, as well as reconsider our interaction with analog and digital interfaces,"Gregorio said.

Gregorio is an industrial designer from Argentina. His 1xbet online games login interests cover a wide range of fields, including furniture, smart devices, user experience, product semantics, 1xbet online games login theory and 1xbet online games login education. His current research focus is on industrial 1xbet online games login , product semantics, entrepreneurship and education.
