The moodboard had an ongoing contribution through the week and involves both interior and exterior focus for forms, colour, material and finish to applied at the last stage of the deliver process. As I will be generating visuals and a concept vehicle which is focused mostly towards the interior - I consider it crucial to collate a visual language which can communicate and contribute towards a vehicle interior which fits between public and private transport option. Proposed as a ride-share option which allows and facilitate for privacy, comfort, ease of use and sustainable function a variety of things were taken into consideration. Some things here contributed with intention of function while others solely inspire an aesthetic for a public x private transport.
Interior - The design of the interior was driven by maximising and utilising the use of space. Hence, the negative spaces to cut down material and compliment the functional purpose of the form. For instance - Seats with negative space provide an opportunity for storage cavities.
Exterior - The design of the exterior was secondary, while interior was given first priority. The exterior design was driven by the end goal to achieve a functional form motivated to provide a best possible access to the vehicle which takes wheel-chair users in consideration. Overall, the exterior was set to be away from organic and speed forms as the intention was to limit confronting and aggressive forms.
Issue
The base of the vehicle had to allow negative area for wheel → this reduced the floor space left for the seats to be sketched and mapped out.
Solution
Iterating the form to cover the wheels as to maximise the space inside.
Testing out a simple extruded box for the AR (Augmented Reality) presentation for MADA NOW. Here I discovered how to export my 3D models to make them AR ready. This was done to showcase the vehicle 1:1 scale using a phone camera in context during the time of the exhibition. This will not only benefit the 'in-scale look' of the vehicle but could also help showcase the colour, material and finish (CMF) better than before due to the physical model being a 3D print.
