Project 1: Vehicle Concept Design

The course provides a practical platform to learn and develop the vehicle design process with a main focus in the two-dimensional presentation of ideas. **Module 1: Research and concept formulation (3 credits)** This module includes instruction about information and inspiration gathering, context mapping and reflection leading to argumentation around a vehicle design concept to be explored in the process. The result of this phase is usually a design brief, including an objective description of desirable attributes for a future transportation solution. **Module 2: Technical definition and ideation (4,5 credits)** During this module students learn how to define the basic technical and ergonomic references that will frame and support the creation of a future vehicle. The students also get guidance on both broad and focused idea exploration including analog and digital methods. **Module 3: Project development (6 credits)** This module consists of learning how to effectively implement conceptual ideas into a tangible product proposition supported by 2 and 3-dimensional design tools. **Module 4: Presentation (1,5 credits)** The final part of the course will prepare the students to select relevant information needed to communicate the design process and create visualisation material that effectivelly conveys the artistic vision for a future transportation solution.
