2016
//design strategy and concept. collaborative project for hitachi rail group.
How can design improve the experience of the new high speed train in the UK? Improve the tourist experience, relax passengers, create a pleasant ambiance. Envision future of mass public urban transport and make it better. Working along with a vehicle designer and a textile designer, HS2 project by Hitachi rail group explored how people sense the space of the train’s interior to create comfort and convenience for passengers. Thinking of transport as a space, we proposed the whole experience from boarding to arrival based on the theme of ‘Time and Flow’. We created the new train transitions from Active to Passive areas based on passenger types and an application that is only able to be used while they are on the train.
