The movement occurs when and where different kinds of elements come across and mix together, as a driving force, it has always built new cultures and constantly transformed them, up to the present.
In the past, for a long time, nomads have moved and migrated constantly.
During their journeys, they cultivated their wisdom to survive, by fully using their human native senses, accepting the nature and letting themselves unite with it.
After that, humankind has been evolving and changing.
In the industrial society, the remarkable development of technologies has facilitated all human activities and intensified the exchange of information, people and materials over space and time.
At the same time, the energy of the material goods has grown up so much, that ironically, we human, the main actors in the society, might be controlled by it, and what is worse, become living dead bodies.
Such being the case, sooner or later, we'll need to get back to the SCIENTIFIC WAY OF THINKING, which is still living on in our life since the early times, and evaluate HUMAN NATIVE ENERGY again.
Bearing this in mind, how will this vital energy be integrated into Honda's resources and mission?
What cultural innovation will we bring in the post-industrial society?

  Escape

  


A new way of living in the city. An act of escaping, of going back to nature and to a simple life. A car in which a house can be created, able to adapt its architecture to the landscape, and to establish an interaction between the outdoor and the indoor space.

  Horse power

If moving from one place to another is nowadays perceived as a waste of time, Horse Power turns this experience into an adventure rich and challenging for your senses and your mind. Horse Power is a vehicle using the wheel – the biggest invention of mankind – re-interpreting the movement and the interaction with the human body that only the horse – the oldest mean of transportation – allows.

  SoundSport

A unique form of personal urban transport that may be used as a recreational sport or with a motor in order to get you there faster. As a wheeled form of “strolling,” the inline skates are stylized and adapted to the urban lifestyle.
The movements that your arms and legs make as you move creates musical sounds which are amplified by the speakers in the skates and protective wrist guards. The skater describes his movement with sound and you don’t know if you are dancing to the music or if the music is dancing to you!

  Transpose

With city growth on the rise, public transportation will become the dominant city transportation. Transpose is a new form of public transportation, which will enable a fluid inner-city movement of both vehicles and people while creating an amusing outlook.

  Slider

The aim of the project is to create a lightweight, human-powered vehicle in order to enhance movement and reduce the use of materials, to reach a simplified structure. Slider is a transportation tool that uses a swinging body movement to create energy and translate it into motion. This futuristic solution is the most self-sufficient energy and creates a necessary balance, a harmony between us and nature.

  Pupil

We perceive cars as mere moving objects. What if men can indicate their sense of being, their mood to other people using a car, that possesses the ability to express the human condition and feelings? We would definitely feel a greater interest in others and even regain a denser human relationship.

  Space Car

A car is a transitional place between space and time. The idea is to transform the car from a simple machine for movement to a personal moving space. By applying innovative fuel-cell, hi-wire technology and new materials, physical constraints currently imposed on cars won’t exist anymore. This enables multiple use of space internally and enhances the interaction externally. This concept car is inspired by the chameleon adapting itself to the variable surrounding situations.

  Cheetah

In the future, movement will be perceived as a direct satisfaction of our soul and not only as a physical act to transport ourselves from a place to another. Cheetah is a vehicle that is created by our own body structure, fitted into a suit. The experience and the new perception of movement take our sense of motion to its limits: the very slow movement increases our 5 senses perceptions and makes us feel and understand a new meaning of speed.

  Honda-Ferret

The project was inspired by the wheel-like weapon of an ancient Chinese God named Lee Nuo Zha, who represents speed and movement.
By combining it with the aerodynamic movement of a skier speeding down and turning on the snowslopes, I created this new dynamic project that reflects the experience and sensation of motion. The aim is to take a whole new road in personal transportation, in terms of control, movement and direction.
