Fiat Supported Work in RCA Show

'Pixel - Imagine the Bigger Picture' looks at the future of travel

Royal College of Art students are to exhibit work produced in a collaboration with FIAT Advanced Design. The work is being carried out by students from different disciplines to produce six user-orientated concepts. Students from Design Products, Interaction Design, Textiles and Vehicle Design departments have been asked to investigate and respond to questions such as:

* How can we change the character of our car without affecting its basic structure?
* How can we better integrate a car into daily life?
* Can we create a car using flat pack concepts?
* Can we turn a vehicle's exterior into an extension of domestic personal space?
* Can we make a car which is a super, harmonious way of travelling? A place to relax?
* How can we create cars which focus more on people, a little less on the object?

"This project is part of FIAT's design research system and we know that at the RCA we can ask the most challenging questions..." said Head of Design Research at FIAT's Concept lab, Salvatore Cacciatore. "With this project we're looking at the future for design disciplines. Perhaps transport designers of the future will be better able to blur the boundaries between disciplines."

'Pixel - Imagine the Bigger Picture' can be seen at the RCA on the 6th May 2004. More details on the events page.
