This project has been ambitious and rewarding
Through this diploma, Linjen has been created as a Scandinavian high-speed rail concept. It has been built on knowledge gathered from The Scandinavian 8 Million City and The Green Train. The result is a visual concept with a strong identity.It will serve as promotional material in the effort to create the first real high-speed rail network in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. As a diploma, this project has been ambitious and rewarding. The strength of the process has been the hard work and continuos production of material at every stage. The belief in, and selection of methods, has been key to create a successful concept. Things that could have been done different include the timing of the
Bombardier visit – that should have been earlier for optimal effect of the feedback, and the facilitation of the workshop. Still, both produced results that were brought along in the project. The next step for Linjen is to be put in use by The Scandinavian 8 Million City. Throughout the project they have shown enthusiasm for the results and expressed that they are looking forward to showcase the Linjen material as part of their investigation. In a best-case scenario, the effort to initiate the creation of a Scandinavian high-speed rail is successful, and Linjen will continue to serve as inspiration and a vision of the Scandinavian high-speed rail.
