TATA space racer


A sculptural piece for the TATA project. The car's going to be have a laminated construction so it can employ more people to make it.

As that will make the car more expensive to produce, it will be made in a way that it can be shipped to Europe more efficiently.

A lot of the volume taken up by a car is air. And with TATA being so cheap that is poor low price per unit volume. And bad for shipping. The opposite of an expensive watch.

To counter this the car will be made up of modules (made an finished in india) that easily lock together quickly in the destination country. When disassembled each piece needs to fit together tightly like pringles for transit, so it will take up less space and be cheaper to ship.

This way price of the car can still be kept low.

The spaceship I now have to make and play with laminating fabrics and honey comb. Then actually design the car!!!!!!!!!!!!
