名称

  • “Social EV Design Contest for International Students 2022”
  • 【What is “Social EV?”】
    Currently, electric vehicles are privately owned by individuals and are not directly related
    to society. On the other hand, we think that EV should be incorporated in the social system
    to support our life. Therefore, we define EV which is mobility evolving and contributing
    to both public and private situation in the society as “social EV“.

    • 企画の狙い

  • To foster interdisciplinary talent that will lead the next generation through research on
    social design and EV possibilities.
  • We call this interdisciplinary talent “an architect”, and the development of this sort of human resource is the highlight of this contest. An architect is a person who has a vision and insight beyond the scope of design and engineering and the profession in the area of cars.

    • コメント

    • Over the recent years, cars have been subject to many criticism, some deserved and others somewhat gratuitous. What remains a certainty, is that in the future there will be a significant need to provide mobility.

      We, as designers, must move away from the burden of the past to enter the infinite possibilities of the future. To succeed designers must achieve the following 3 goals:
      1-For the purchaser, it must offer an attractive and seductive solution.
      2-For the end user, it must provide a solution that is easy to use.
      3-For the citizen of the world, whatever is proposed must be good for the planet.
      As creative people, we must remain conscious that to be successful, good design must establish a link between the fields of art, architecture as well as industry. You, the new designers must become universalists and sometimes social engineers. That is the future if you want to make a better world.
