Exploring time and distance A one week pressure cooker with a diverse group of Industrial Design and Architecture students. The pressure cooker was set-up in such a way that there weren’t any design reasons behind it. We were free to explore different approaches that would jumpstart different discussions. At the end of the week we would have to present our discussions with other groups. The fact that the group was extremely diverse (approximately 15 different nationalities representing) made the whole discussion that much more valuable. The last day we had gathered so many different ideas about combining space with a certain mindset, which led to very fast scribbles that were included at the end of our presentation.

Individual free movement mobility Working in a team of four (three Industrial Design students and one Architecture student) the goal of this research was to translate the vision of the Architecture student into a framweork for future vehicle solutions. The idea of free movement should be applied to different programs, these being consumer2consumer, business2consumer and business2business. The interesting thing about our approach was that we took deliberate steps in formulating our vision. Our way of working forced us to link so-called context clusters to each other and define the most important interactions from there one. This allowed us to make a deliberate switch between a more data-oriented part of the research towards a more human-focused interpretation. The established vehicle qualities were eventually taking further to develop other projects within the university.

Because of increasing technology, automation and the need for efficiency, the incompleteness of people will always remain or even grow. A hyper connected network could be jeopardized, when this incompleteness will keep people in their individual bubbles. More so than just including new propulsion systems in vehicles, it will become even more important how these vehicles interact in a network.
Mission Statement
11
We want to... provide a new transport system that makes people more aware of their place and actions within the network. We want to create free movement and stimulate interaction between vehicles.

2025 TATA B-segment proposal This project is currently still in progress, as I am finishing the clay model. This exercise focuses on coming up with a new design vision for TATA. However, at the beginning it is already established that the vehicle that will be designed is a hybrid B-segment car. This includes a fully worked out technical package, that has to be acknowledged. My whole approach to this project was to get a sense of the important developments relevant for TATA. As a relatively young, but extremely developed company they are in a unique position to rethink their position in the urban vehicle landscape. In developing qualitative aspects for the exterior design, my reasoning was to step away from the traditional avatar associated with a car. As the meaning of cars and their role as a dominant product are changing for younger generations, my focus was to replace the ‘carness’ with a more product oriented approach. Communicating the qualities of the interior in the exterior became my primary concern in designing this vehicle.
exterior development (2D renders and clay model)
Hydrogen FS Race car I was part of a student racing team during my second year that was building their first formula student car after 3 years of experience in hydrogen race karts. My role, together with three other students, was to design an build the entire bodywork and interior parts. We had to deal with a very wide and high package, because of the accomodation of a hydrogen tank and enegry-storing boostcaps. Both of these parts were designed to be at the respective right and left side of the driver. We were able to visually lower the vehicle by adding a green floating surface on top of a black base surface. By essentialy splitting up the side panels in to two visually differing parts we were able to accomplish this effect. The car eventually set a world record for the fastest hydrogen vehicle under 500 kg on a quarter-mile drag strip.
CReating tension In one day the goal was to design a car around bended PVC pipes. The exercise was to stimulate our understanding of tension and sections in a car. More importantly, it worked as a team building experience for the Automotive Design students.
2D work What is important to know about me in this area is that I enjoy hand-sketching a lot more than digital rendering. However, I pride myself in being able to do both at a high level and fast pace. This is a messy collection of stuff, I will scan more stuff later on.
