N.Y. Taxi (Sponsored by Design Trust for Public Space) - “Office Mobile Taxi” Project to design a future taxi for New York and Los Angeles. The project was initiated at The Design Trust for Public Space, a New York organization that is advocating advancing New York’s image through design. The focus was on the user experience. Requirements include: Room for 4 paying passengers, seamless wheelchair/child stroller accessibility, long
production life, ability to incorporate low emissions or zero emissions propulsion systems, passenger’s security and driver visibility. Project approached were to configure and design an interior environment, determine the driving environment, develop ingress/egress systems, create a detailed package layout, configure and design the exterior of the vehicle, developed
a 3D model from clay and Alias model of interior. All work was created from preliminary sketches to 3D models.
