Abstract

Inviting students to design the future of transportation is not uncommon. Asking them, however, to imagine a new future for our society by way of wholly reconsidering what the future of Transportation Design could be provides a unique pedagogical opportunity to expand conceptual visualization skills. The 2010 Senior Transportation Design Class of the University of Cincinnati's School of Design was tasked to identify a significant societal need or issue that could be directly addressed by both realistically and radically rethinking current transportation paradigms affecting the issue. Their Capstone Projects were dedicated to researching, developing, and resolving designs envisioning new integrated transportation paradigms that would positively impact society. The resulting projects ranged in scope from the pragmatic to the dramatic and in scale from the wearable to the inhabitable. Projects extensively utilized PACE CAD software (Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, Alias Automotive, and Maya) for design development, visualization, and final model creation through rapid prototyping.
