Google Design Barn Design Barn has been home to global brands showcasing their products and offerings. Many of these occasions have been close knit and private events. One such event was Google Shopping Warehouse, where Google invited their key clients to experience their technology and offerings. The Barn was completely transformed with various curated discovery sessions for each of Google's clients. This was a validation of the Design Barn idea, a dedicated and authentic space for innovation, design and creativity. The event was designed and executed by Communique India 🇮🇳 #googleindia #googlewarehouse #discoverysessions #searchengine #innovationandtechnology #googlecloud

Repositioning the Great Indian Highways A picture is worth a thousand words and when you are looking up at glorious roads and landscapes that make up the Indian Highways, you can be forgiven for being at a loss of words! Every time a new visitor walks into the DESIGN BARN, looking up at the huge Highways gallery, spanning the width of the Barn they ask us, “Oh, are those ‘really’ ‘Indian’ Highways!” With the stellar leadership of Shri. Nitin Gadkari, Minister of Road Transport and Highways of India, entire landscapes have been transformed, connected and livelihoods created. As Highways are not just moving people / goods / services from place A to B, not mere infrastructure. Rather, it is a story of ‘pace’, ‘progress’ and ‘prosperity’ for a billion plus people in India. A new PPP. As design partners of the Ministry of Road, Transport and Highways, Govt. of India,Spread Design and Innovation Pvt. Ltd. was entrusted with repositioning the Indian National Highways, from a service to a life experience. The challenging Zojila pass in the Himalayas, misty mountains of North East, the tip of Kanyakumari, Expressways in Gujarat, wind farms - we have chased the sun and the rain to capture the world’s second largest road network in the best light. With deep and unique skill in film and photography. Playing with perspective, depth, lines and light to shoot hundreds of kilometres of NH, Expressways, Bridges and Tunnels as works of art, from a bird’s eye view to an eye level. While also gaining the perspective and sharing the stories of progress of the people. To bring alive the story of Indian National Highways through a series of images, films, publications, coffee table books covering the length and breadth of the nation. With ‘Badhte Chalo" as the theme. Shaping a new perception of Indian National Highways. Today, the Badhte Chalo Coffee Table Book sits on the shelves and reading tables of all Members of Parliament, leading actors and Policy Makers of India. Happy to see our design and our ideas go places. When you visit the Design Barn, spend time at the Highways Gallery and get the urge to travel across our great and gorgeous nation. Design Barn is an initiative of Spread.

Run from the Design Barn with a national and worldwide cohort online. With a journey structured to allow the mind to Stretch : the thinking with a fresh understanding of concepts and practices. Around an increased capacity of conceptualisation and systems thinking.

Swachhata Spreads Change cannot be imposed, it has to happen from within. How do we make the whole idea of health and hygiene almost celebratory, by making this the substrata and common unifying theme of every festival that will be celebrated in the festival season, especially in these pandemic times? So that behaviour change happens not through impositions or instructions, but through positive integration into the culture. Led by the human insight “In India as well as in Karnataka, celebration is ritualised via festivals, where communities come together and celebrate.” The Big Idea Swachhotsava! Conceived as a fresh bisociation by Spread Design and Innovation Pvt. Ltd. at the DESIGN BARN, Swachhotsava serves as the opportunity for communities to come together, take action to keep their villages clean by making waste beautiful — Swachhotsava becomes a Nityotsava (daily celebration)! The Blueprint for Behaviour Change Integrating with Karnataka’s cultural DNA. To create a new, participative culture, implement policies and build infrastructure to enhance the adoption of Solid and Liquid Waste Management facilities. Designing the Triggers for Social Commentary Building a People’s Calendar of Swachhata Spreading Clean Ideas Swachha Sankeerna Designing India’s first unified Solid and Liquid waste management brand and system. 4600+ Swachha Sankeerna - waste management units Serving 10,000 + villages 20,000 + rural women (from Self Help Groups) - becoming custodians of sustainable waste management. An award winning project, the Swachha Sankeerna units are dedicated by the Govt. of Karnataka to the people, the State and the Nation, as a mark of respect to Mahatma Gandhi, 6 years from the day when the Swachh Bharat Mission was launched in India. There’s nothing more challenging than working on change. But really, do we have a choice, since change is the only constant.

Lets Dare to drive audacious change together - be it culture change or a practical response to climate change! #cocreate #cospace #design #innovation #bengaluru #karnataka #impact #creativity #behaviourchange #designcenter #consulting #designsense #swachhmevajayate #change #impact #governance

Swachhameva Jayate Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Cleanliness is victory. Cleanliness is truth. How do we awaken this culture that is so deeply entrenched in our minds and hearts? Spread this truth? Victory for the State lies in people’s participation in Swachhata. While a lot of work has been done by the State Govt, it is time for the people of Karnataka to take initiative as active, responsible stakeholders and partners. As design partners to the Dept. of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj / Government of Karnataka, we have conceptualised and designed Swachhameva Jayate, to take the message of Swachhata to every household in every village and district of Karnataka, change behaviour. With DESIGN BARN becoming the epicentre of this change, as a laboratory with workshops to cull insights at the end of long journeys on foot across the State, a creative ecosystem to design for behaviour change, a film studio to shoot songs, stories and explainers to catalyse change. 400 hours of onground research 10 behaviour change campaigns 1000+ local artists collaborating 100000+ public walls transformed 30000 villages touched 30+ illustrations 40+animated videos 20+ ‘Good Morning’ Films 1 Comprehensive People’s Participation Movement across a large state. Read about the effort here Link https://lnkd.in/gkxqv9K Change begins from the people and their awareness of issues, cultures and their deep seated views being challenged. It is possible to imaginatively design behaviour change, however tough the odds. We are retelling Design Barn stories and this one above is a story of meaningful work done at Spread Design and Innovation Pvt. Ltd. for RDPR, Karnataka. #cocreate #cospace #design #innovation #bengaluru #karnataka #impact #creativity #behaviourchange #designcenter #consulting #designsense #swachhmevajayate #change #impact #governance
