Degree Project
2026
This project explores the future of car culture in a time where the automotive industry is rapidly shifting toward electrification, digitalisation, and increasingly standardised mobility solutions. The result is a compact, bare bones vehicle, focused on mechanical clarity, repairability, and self expression. It exists in a broader ecosystem promoting longevity and cultural continuity through participation, care, and shared knowledge, reframing the automobile not only as a mobility device, but as part of a larger social and participatory culture, and ultimately try to explore the question, how can we evolve car culture in meaningful and sustainable ways?
