The project Lightweight mobility 2030 which we have been working on for the last few months ended with presentation for KISKA last thursday. It has been three weeks of really hard work after New Years Eve, but it paid off for all of us. On the picture the proud members of TD1 are posing in front of the presentation posters flanked by teachers and tutor Christof Taübl from KISKA in front. I will post more from this project soon….

This is the result of short sketching workshop tutored by Christof Taübl from KISKA. The task was to designing a lightweight and attractive soapbox from the inside out.

This autumn TD1 at UID will be designing energy-efficient vehicle concepts adapted to future transportation scenarios in collaboration with KISKA. As a kickoff for the project each one of us made an advanced moodboard to investigate visual lightweigt. This abstract “paper sculpture” was my attempt to make a tangible model of my three lightweight-keywords: Balance, flow and precision.
