Hongik University wins World Design Contest 2011

 

 1. the Hongik University

The Ferrari Eternità concept by the Hongik University in Seoul has won the 2011 Ferrari World Design Contest. Coming up second and third behind them was the IED institute from Turin and the Royal College of Art, London. This year 50 schools and colleges participated in the event.

Ferrari’s brief for the World Design Contest was to make a hypercar of the future, surprising in its design, technology and the materials used. The future Ferrari Enzo could apparently adopt some of the ideas and style developed by the designers for the contest.

The second place Ferrari design was called the Xezri and was created by Samir Sadikhov from Azerbaigan. The third placed model, the Cavallo Bianco, was a joint effort from Henry Cloke and Qi Haitao from China. The first three winners get a money prize and an internship gig at Ferrari’s Style Centre.

2. Ferrary Modern Touch

The Hongik University entry is a futuristic model with some Ferrari design cues and added modern touch. The Eternità is an aerodynamic roadster with heavily sculpted lines, a wraparound windscreen and large wheels. It was also awarded for best use of Alias software, while the award for the “Most Unexpected Technological Solution” was won by “The Drake” concept by Jiangnan University.

Beatiful Concept Batmobile Design Competition

 

Congratulations to Paul Denton for winning Beatiful Concept Batmobile Design Competition!  Paul’s rendering, seen above, captures that “bad ass” feel of the Dark Knight: it’s moody, menacing, and full of drama.  The sketch technique is loose and intriguing, and the vehicle’s design is well-though out… It’s as if the car lurks in the shadows, stalking Batman’s prey.  The smoke emitting from the side exhaust, something that Denton had in his other two sketches, makes it almost seem like Beatiful Concept Batmobile is smoking after a night of satisfactory Joker-murder.
