Winner’s hail from China, India, Korea, and the United States
DETROIT, Mich. (Dec. 15, 2015) —The winning entries of the 27th Annual Michelin Challenge Design Competition for the College for Creative Studies (CCS) were honored recently at the A. Alfred Taubman Center for Design Education in Detroit, Mich. Winning CCS transportation students received scholarships and an invitation to display their designs in the Michelin Challenge Design exhibit at the 2016 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), Jan. 16-24, 2016.
A total of 25 CCS transportation students (14 from the bachelor of fine arts program and 11 from the master of fine arts program) entered this year’s challenge, which was based on the global Michelin Challenge Design theme of “Mobility for All – Designing for the Next Frontier.”
Bachelor’s-level students were challenged to create an inter-modal mobility approach for a local region, such as the Detroit metropolitan area, that would enhance mobility in a clean, safe and efficient manner.
Master’s-level students were challenged to design a mobility solution that would best serve the needs of an underserved region of the world. Three individual winners were chosen from both the master’s and bachelor’s classes, and a winning team was chosen among the master’s students.
The distinguished panel of judges for this year’s event were Darren Luke, advanced design manager, General Motors; Christopher Thomas, founder & partner, Fontinalis; Mark Nickita, president, Archive Design Studio; and Bob Miron, Michelin North America (retired).
