Description:

My concept focuses on freedom in Berlin 2035.

As the population increases there is less room for individual freedoms. Yet freedom is one of the most important factors in a person’s wellbeing; Freedom to express oneself, freedom to have personal space, freedom to exercise creativity. When these things are taken away people suffer both mentally and physically.

I have aimed to address this issue by designing a vehicle that gives back these freedoms. With the focus on reclaiming personal space.

My concept aims to give users the experience of being in a large spacious chauffeured vehicle but in the package of a tiny electric city car. The overall aesthetic of the vehicle will aim to convey individual freedom through the expression of creative identity.
