Creative Design Company, Designworks Shanghai, Relocates to West Bund District
BMW Designworks Unveils New Innovation Studio in Shanghai's West Bund District
The BMW Group’s innovative creative design company, Designworks, is expanding its global footprint with a new location in the vibrant West Bund district of Shanghai, China. Situated in the heart of the city’s flourishing arts, culture, and business hub, the studio is poised to generate cutting-edge design ideas for both the BMW Group and external clients.
Studio Inauguration at West Bund Art & Design Fair Shanghai
The official launch of the studio coincides with the West Bund Art & Design Fair Shanghai, running from November 9 to 12, 2023. As part of the inauguration, the BMW Group will host the talk “Art & Design: Co-Creation x Technology,” featuring multimedia artist Cao Fei, Jessica Zhang from the Today Art Museum Beijing, and Holger Hampf, head of Designworks. The event aims to explore the intersection of art, design, and technology, with emerging talents presenting BMW-inspired collaborations.
Shanghai Studio: A Hub for Creative Collaboration
Housing approximately 50 creatives in a dynamic environment surrounded by cultural institutions, the new Designworks studio in West Bund fosters collaboration with BMW Group’s design teams globally. Adrian van Hooydonk, head of BMW Group Design, emphasizes the studio’s strategic role in bringing Asian perspectives to the forefront of global innovation.
Insights into Chinese Culture and Customer Preferences
The Designworks studio in Shanghai serves as a vital source of insights into Chinese culture, tradition, and evolving customer needs. With a focus on human-centered design, the team aims to address the specific requirements of customers in China and the broader Asian region. This valuable knowledge is integrated into the design of models such as the new BMW 5 Series Sedan, tailored exclusively for the Chinese market.
Sustainable Design and Cross-Industry Collaborations
The Shanghai studio contributes to sustainable design practices, combining traditional craftsmanship with visionary materials. Collaborations with local tech startups bring a modern twist to traditional Chinese handicrafts. Designworks’ influence extends beyond automotive design, encompassing projects with partners like CRRC, Yadea, and Fotile, showcasing a diverse portfolio of cross-industry collaborations.
The Designworks studio in Shanghai not only strengthens BMW Group’s presence in the dynamic Asian market but also emerges as a hub for cross-cultural creativity, innovation, and sustainable design practices.
As a last illustration of the extent to which authority and subordination were pushed in Roman society, it may be mentioned that the better class of slaves were permitted to keep slaves for their own service. But whether the institution of slavery as a whole should be reckoned among the conditions favourable to authoritative beliefs is doubtful, as it was an element common to every period of antiquity. Perhaps, however paradoxical such an assertion may seem, the very frequency of emancipation gave increased strength to the feeling of dependence on an overruling personal power. A freedman could not forget that the most important event in his life was due, not to any natural law, but to the will or the caprice of a master; and this reflection must have confirmed his faith in the divine beings of whom he and his master were fellow-slaves. 107 “He looked smack at the stewardess,” Larry added to himself. [Pg 85] He went in through the gate, and was once more upon that reservation he had been commanded by the overbearing tyrant representative of the military to leave, several weeks before. As he trudged along, tattoo went. In the clear silence, beneath the sounding-boards of the low clouds, he heard the voice of one of the sergeants. He shook his fist in the direction. Tattoo being over, some of the lights were put out, but there were still plenty to guide him. He did not want to get there too early, so he walked more slowly, and when he came to the edge of the garrison, he hesitated. The peace with Spain was also ratified in London on the 1st of March. By this, Spain, so far as diplomatic contracts could effect it, was for ever separated from France. Philip acknowledged[14] the Protestant succession, and renounced the Pretender. He confirmed the Assiento, or exclusive privilege of the English supplying the Spanish West Indies and South American colonies with slaves, one-fourth of the profit of which the queen reserved to herself—a strange proof of the small idea of the infamy of this traffic which prevailed then in England, whilst so truly benevolent a woman could calmly appropriate money so earned to her own use. Gibraltar and Minorca were also confirmed to England, on condition that the Spanish inhabitants should enjoy their own property and their religion. There was a guarantee given by Philip for the pardon and security of the Catalans. They were to be left in possession of their lives, estates, and honours, with certain exceptions, and even these were at liberty to quit the country and remove to Italy with their effects. But the Catalans, who had taken up arms for Charles of Austria at our suggestion, were greatly incensed at the dishonourable manner in which we had abandoned them and the cause, and, putting no faith in the word of Philip, they still remained in arms, and soon found themselves overrun with French troops, which deluged their country with blood, and compelled them to submit. Amid all the disgraceful circumstances which attended the peace of Utrecht, none reflected more infamy on England than its treatment of the people of Catalonia. "Bully, boys," ejaculated Shorty, as he reloaded. "You'll do. The 200th Injianny's proud o' you." "Great Jehosephat," gasped Shorty, "was that Gen. Tecumseh Sherman?" "But I haint told you half," continued the Orderly-Sergeant. "Them smarties were quick to find out that Alf Russell and Jim Humphreys leaned strongly toward religion, and they filled 'em with the idea that Cap McGillicuddy was a very devout man, and held family devotions every evening in his tent, in which his company joined." "The rest o' you chase yourselves around him," said a humorist among the cooks, while the others laughed uproariously. That was, as far as he could ever remember, the first second he had even seen it. It was there, behind his eyes, blinking on and off, like a neon sign. Sometimes he paid no attention to it, but it was always there, always telling him the same thing. It was too bad Norma didn't know that. There was a silence. "Get me some tea," he said roughly, "I'm cold." CHAPTER II. HoME性交乱淫视频
