The second of the two-course core studio,sequences, this class continues the introduction,of advanced fundamentals of vehicle design. ,Existing concept vehicle interiors are analyzed to,help develop a unique interior design for the,final exterior design created in Graduate,Transportation Design I. Here, the aesthetic,message concept generated last semester is now,further developed into an experiential interior,context which considers specific user research and,is realized as both physical and psycho-sensorial,formal executions. This course will result in,final integrated exterior and interior designs,executed as a technical digital 3D model data set,capable of further engineering assessment and/or,fabrication. The final combined interior and,exterior 3D digital model will also be animated to,demonstrate its conceptual intent.
