Packed full of striking images, “Moving forward, new directions in transport design” is a must read for anyone interested in the future of transport
, whether road, off-road, rail, water or air based.
Author Helen Evenden is a tutor in the departments of Vehicle Design and Critical and Historic Studies at the Royal College of Art. The RCA has a world wide reputation for radical thinking and radical solutions are what are needed. She writes in her forward, “Improving our travel environment is perhaps the most challenging area for contemporary designers…the greatest challenge facing designers of transportation is the environmental imperative…In the twenty-first century, movement will be one key to relieving poverty and spreading prosperity, and its responsible development will arguably be the single most significant contribution to planetary stability”.
Yet this is not just a book about electrically powered pram type cars and bicycles, but also about hydrogen powered racing cars, future private aircraft and radical ways of getting about. To find out more, we suggest you read the book. Price is £19.99 and the book is published by V&A Publications through Macmillan Distribution www.macmillandistribution.co.uk. TS
