Full Story
Dell Technologies today announced the winners of its “Reimagined: #BuiltWithPrecision” challenge in Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ). The 30-day challenge, which ran from April 11 to May 10, 2023, invited 12 talented creators from six different countries to showcase their innovation and creativity by reimagining pre-selected landmarks – using Dell Precision workstations.
The submissions were evaluated by a panel of judges from Dell Technologies. From the APJ region, judges include Paul Carter, vice president, Client Solutions Group; Carol Lindell, vice president, Marketing, and Vivian Tai, head of Global Environmental Affairs and Production Responsibility. Global judges include Patrick Jones, senior advisor, Social Business Team, and Paul Doczy, design director, Mobile Business Product and IOT.
The designs were assessed based on criteria that looked at the overall innovativeness of their concept, the quality of their design, the outstanding use of technology, the incorporation of sustainability, as well as the relevance of the concept design to local cultural contexts.
“Each participant has inspired and impressed us with their exceptional creativity,” said Paul Carter. “Dell Precision workstations embody how technology can drive innovation and bring ideas to life. It’s amazing how these creators leveraged the powerful features of Dell Precision workstations to push the boundaries of design, as they breathe new life into these landmarks through their design concepts and reimagine what their relevance could be in today’s world.”
Hanif Aldjaidi, 24, an architectural designer from Bandung, Indonesia, was named the Overall Winner of the challenge. Furnished with Dell Precision 7670 mobile workstation, Hanif created a concept design titled ‘Collaborative and Co-Living Space’ – which reimagined an old train graveyard into a lively work-and-play hub, with lifestyle elements such as a library, coffee shop and a sports facility creatively integrated into the train carriages.
The challenge’s Runner Up, Tan Yong Lin, is a 27-year-old photographer and digital artist from Cyberjaya, Malaysia. His concept design titled ‘The Time Capsule’ demonstrated a purposeful reimagination of the historical Papan Town in Perak. Yong Lin used Dell Precision 7770 mobile workstation to not only restore the town’s historically significant buildings to their former glory but also to elevate them into cafes, museums and galleries. His concept included a glasshouse constructed specially to protect Papan Town’s iconic banyan tree – rejuvenating the town into an attractive destination for locals and visitors alike.
