What if methane could be used as an alternative energy source in the advent of a biotechnological revolution?

Biotechnology is a popular scientific trend in this new generation.

My interest lies in designing a hybrid vehicle which utilises organic material instead of more traditional materials in its design.

As a designer, I have discovered that design is not only about appearances and convenience, but also how it touches upon the interaction between the human and the product. The emotional connection created through the user experience is just as important. Furthermore, it possesses an intuitive connection with modern living styles and the spiritual side of humans.
As for the mental aspect, I believe the human mind is a form of art on its own: our actions and the way we think are all artistic behaviours. Moreover, following the trend of society, human habits will change throughout different phases of modern life, and this will undoubtedly affect design. I have discovered that human behaviour plays a significant role in affecting the product itself. And sometimes, products themselves form a medium through which to reflect on a generation's thinking.
