HOW DO YOU GENERATE A

FALSE SENSE OF SPEED?

Fascination with speed, and subsequently efficiency in time, has led to the birth of some of mankind’s most cherished innovations including the automobile. If however, this desire to move with power was to be reduced by the political jargon associated with global warming, how could the automobile re-create this sense of excitement whilst

travelling at a measly 20mph?

THE FRIEND OF THE CIVILIAN.

This semi-autonomous mechanised unit is dispatched in war torn regions to provide

assistance to the innocent inhabitants of such areas. It provides food, water, medicine, live

interaction (via the intercom) and a selection of basic surgery procedures afforded by the surgical

arm. The Airdrop Civilian Aid Unit is the citizens ally.

HOW CAN I HELP?

The intercom allows civilians to get in contact with an advisor, which can help direct the user around the mech, or can relay

information in regards to what the civilians need in the next supply

drop.

FUSING TRADITION WITH MODERNITY.

This Porsche was developed around the idea of creating an aggressive form using broken surfaces and strength in structure to subsequently bring new light to the already successful and

distinguished brand.

With an ever growing consumerist world, the desire for something graspable and meaningful acquired via privileged lifestyles has risen in the recent decade. The re-shuffling of our ideals has led to our experiences becoming our true desire. So how do we provide such emotional experiences? Well the idea here is to create a unified embodiment of togetherness whilst allowing for a more personal driving experience without sacrificing the importance of either

elements. Our answer is the Bentley Mirabeau

MAKING THE WORLD A SMALLER PLACE.

’Ever Lasting Band’ Transitioning from driver

centric experiences to family orientated ones, this graphic band helps to create a space

appropriate for both the family man and the driving enthusiast.

ICONIC HERITAGEMEETS YOUTHFUL

EXUBERANCE.Land Rover’s 3 box platform has opened up opportunities for a world of discovery with a less serious tone adoprted through the

design language. A new ’fun’ experience is being stimulated, subsequently pushing the brand into new markets chasing this

youthful explorer of the 21st century. This 3 box platform is Land Rovers aesthetic direction of the future. Not an overhaul of the

brand, but instead a playful expansion of its ideals.

LEVs (Luxury Electric Vehicle) are transportation units owned by the likes of Silversea. The once reliant cruise ship market took a turn in the early years of 2060 with global warming being desperately apparent, cruise line companies and other luxurious markets were forced to indulge in the ’Fix Our Broken Home’ project. A scheme initiated by governments to help tackle the environmental issues before us. LEV's take the riches philantropists ways and mixes it with scientific efforts to try and help patch up the problems we've caused.

FIXING OUR BROKEN HOME.

HONEST DESIGN.The basis for this sketch project was to design a truck which adhered to the issues of its size, and thus its expected aesthetic, and by employing a

more product or Citroen Cactus styling design cue, this vehicle retains the value of honest design, instead of claiming that this is in fact a streamlined

sports car..

16

BLENDING FUNCTION WITH FORM.

The idea of bleeding the lines of function and form was the fundamental force driving this design forward. From

the earliest stages of the project I wished to create a cohesion between the two, which would eventually lead to the 'Blue Blade. The motorcycle itself pays homage to the shark inspired forms employed in the current BMW

motorcycle design language.

UNDESIGN: THE REDUCTION OF EASY.How can an interaction based design complement its owners lifestyle? The Mini Adventure explores a means of connection which is based around physical human interaction. Less ergonomic, but more to love. Removable back packs, vertical access luggage space, a climbing entrance, an open cabin area and a removable bench all help in creation of this unique experience.

MANS BEST FRIENDThis project is the encapsulation of a Land Rover

designed around mans greatest companion, the dog. Functionally orientated around the daily activity of

walking your dog, this vehicle conforms to requirements otherwise unforeseen in your normal passenger vehicle. all whilst taking aesthetical inspiration from stacked wood sculpture forms - such as the Fred Perry HQ

reception space.

The Design

Acting as a Gondola on wheels this biocentric means of transportation pays tribute to its past whilst embracing its

future. Algorithmically produced soft points can be generated through means of biomimcry at molecular level, which

then react to designer hard points - this essentially means that tree growth, or even apple growth if you will, can be digitally simulated and subsequently

produced via 3D printing methods and thus a bio world can be embraced by

major manufacturing companies.The inclusion of bio-engineered fruits and plants foresees the expansion of

the eco world. The consumer product is finally becoming the producer itself,

focusing less on the internal and more on the external by linking man with nature, through both experience and function

based elements of this new car’.

How To Grow Apples On Your BIOS-1

So apparently this thing can grow stuff. Towards the front of the vehicle you'll find the fertilizer

box.

Pop that open, add some bio-super-grow-fertilizer, and

then wait.

With a bit of luck, you'll get some rain. Green rain or conventional rain will do the

job.

The growth aid system will make an appearance each day - encouraging organic growth.

TA-DAH!
