1 Integra concept
Rise of fully electrified automated mobility. How will look a future multifunctional SUV.

INSPIRATION: Lightweight constructions in modern architecture and furniture, spacial grids of 3D models, patterns on electric circuit

INTEGRA mechanical fascination


Interior Motives Deisgn Awards 2013 entry

boards: These are few examples of objects where the form and function are so closely related to each other that theyre almost inseparable; their technical structure affect both how they work and how they look like.

DESIGN OBJECTIVE: Integra is a vision of next generation recreational family SUV. Future tranportation

HIGH-TECH

LOGIC INORGANIC PATTERNED TRANSPARENT INTEGRATED

with automated driving and other auxiliary systems will relieve driver from most of his duties, offering new experiences through extened functionality of the exterior and the interior. These technologies will change how the cars will be used, how people will spend time with them.

CONCEPT

MESH Integration of aesthetics with engineering into a single object in which all the components are united as proposal of a new architecture of a car. Its an attempt
to create minimalist vehicle that offers exceptional flexibility.

Integra

EXTERIOR RESEARCH

Following the main design goal which is integrity and continuity, the exterior and interior have been developed in parallel.

DESIGN OBJECTIVE: Cars are fast moving objects and aerodynamics plays significant role in every aspect of their performance: energy consumption,
traction, comfort and safety. Evolution in modern car design cannot do without development of aerodynamic solutions, in particular when it comes to cars destined to travel at high speeds. The taks of this project is to design an ultra aerodynamic car for 4 passengers, inventing both functional and styling solutions.

THE VALUES:

ELEMENTARY

CONCEPT DESIGN OBJECTIVE What if a bicycle brand decided to developed a car? Design an alternative
light mean of transport that combines advantages of two and four wheels.

Just anthropocentrism like every part of urban landscape was designed according to human measures: buildings, infrastructure, cars and bikes, this project aims
to introduce a new landmark to this scenery: a vehicle that adds up a value to the appeareance of its user.

POSTURE ANALYSIS

+
- smaller footprint, easy to park - can access places that cars cannot - extremely agilie - non-emission, ecologic and healthy - inexpensive - very low maintenance costs - simple and reliable - comfortable - safe - protects from the weather - carries more than one passenger - status symbol - goes faster than bicycle - effortless to drive
