Bachelor WORK
ACTIVE & RELAX INTERIOR MODE Multisensory experience in the interior of automobile 2020/2021
The presented design concept consists of multisensory interior of an autonomous vehicle, which focuses on eliminating and reducing health problems of the generation Alpha. The interior offers two modes of travel, active and relaxing, which allows the passenger not only to revitalize his health and mental state, but also to personalize their experience of a long ride.
The bachelor thesis works with the scenario of a future post-carbon society, whose main goal is to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels through alternative modes of transport. The subject of the practical part of the bachelor thesis is the design of the interior of an autonomous electric car, designed to cover long distances, which meets the criteria for generation Alpha in the years 2030 – 2035. The theoretical part of the work deals with problematic assumptations that have already begun to appear in the affected generation and the interior design responds directly to them with induvidual functions.

The sketches focus on specific functions in the interior, such as where the aroma diffuser will be, how the light lines will go, where the control surface and seat will be.
The key part in building the entire interior was working with virtual reality in Gravity Sketch. Final sketches were visualized thanks to testing & consulting in the programme.

NOW WHAT?
I am currently on an exchange study stay in Germany, where the main desire was to learn to communicate better in a foreign language and at the same time gain new experiences offered by the University of Wismar, Faculty of Architecture and Design. The field I am currently studying for 6 months is Architectural Lighting design, a field that has been a big unknown to me so far. I gain knowledge about light, about its perception in the environment, how it affects materials in different lighting, but at the same time I study subjects that are interested in the creation of ornaments and patterns.
