Kinetic Dynamism

This project explores the possibility of materials that respond to light and temperature. It is based on the context of autonomous driving and car-sharing within the environment of the rise of isolation and loneliness in urban living in 2025. In this project, Ruxin focuses on how to bring back the thrill and excitement of driving in the era of autonomous driving. She tries to create an exciting and dynamic environment for riders through the use of colours, materials and finishes. The Perspex materials are treated with a specific process to be able to respond to the change of temperature and lighting condition which will provide riders with various moods. The tactile experience of materials is applied to develop relationships and build trust between passengers and vehicles.
