“What’s simple and clear might be subversive and disturbing.

Making things simple is an act of artistic kindness.”

—The Distinguished Citizen

DESIGN THINKING

Putting aside the debate or myth whether car should be considered as an art piece or not.

Some of them are indeed appreciated by a considerable number of people. However, the time people actually see their car is short because car is usually parked at basement or parking lot outside of living area. It makes me rethink about the relationship between people, vehicle and living space so I come up with the idea bringing car into owner’s interior space.

MINIMALISM APPROACH

Material

A drop of water seems simple but the reflection from light ,surrounding and the subtly changing of volume enrich itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visual content which makes it fascinating to watch.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I consider space to be a material. The articulation of space has come to take precedence over other concerns. I attempt to use sculptural form to make space distinct.â&#x20AC;? -Richard Serra

INTERIOR

Bringing in the feeling of interior so the journey in vehicle will be comfy and enjoyable just like traveling in an extension of living room. Having option for autonomous mode or manual driving mode depends on userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mood.

The seat in the middle will slide forward when manuel mode is on and the seat belt will pop from the back of the seat.
