My project tackles the early stage of the conception of an automobile.

Today's cars are built around a frame in which we fit the occupants causing limitations in terms of design.

My solution is based around four seats that play the role of nucleus of the car structure and that independently bring protection to the user.

I believe that space sensation doesn't depend on the size of the volume we are in but on the perception we have of the environment. Therefore, based on my structural solution, we can imagine new solutions in terms of design and driving experience.
