About
There will be a real-scale layout of a vehicle attached to a wall, where visitors can play with selecting and positioning different elements of a car (wheels, engine, driver, etc.), and "draw" their vehicle with tape. I will be guiding and directing your decisions according to broader aspects of a sustainable, alternative transportation system. Issues related to climate change and mass production/consumerism will be discussed as challenges.
