Atoms, Bits & Design

Hi, I am Srikanth Jalasutram and I study design at Georgia Tech.
Atoms & Bits represent the fundamental building blocks of all physical and digital things in our world. They also reflect the kinds of things i am interested in designing.
This blog is about design and how it brings atoms and bits together. If you like this you can also email me or browse my flickr

beautiful. I love the blue, the inkiness and the overall idea. very DIY indeed. If you are in portland and/or headed to IDSA national conference. Be sure to check this out! sheltondavis: repurposedgoods: Repurposed Goods business cards (stamps) in testing before the trip to IDSA’s national conference in Portland, Oregon. These cards OR stamps for that matter will be on the inside of a paper bag with scissors next to the bag. Only those that really want to contact me will…cut out a business card! The theme for this conference….DIY. As you can see, I love the convergence of industrial design fundamentals with traditional DIY practice.

EV Drivers Get Charged | Blog | design mind frogdesign follows fuseproject with an EV charging station design. This one actually LOOKS LIKE it has a working digital interface. My superficial design critique (from what i see and can make out) Industrial Design: I am still not convinced about the overall size of the device. Seems too big and bulky.How does a device that supplies electricity get to be this big? And what’s with the giant radii on both the forms ? Lastly, I feel the fuel cord storage needs more exploration. There should be a much more elegant way to wrap/store it. Digital design: A touchscreen…. really ? For a device that sits out on the street and needs to be used in snowy,rainy and dusty climates..(and with gloves on)…there surely must be a better way.
