Announcing the Transportation Honorees for the 2016 Core77 Design Awards 

After an innovation surge in the 20th century, designers are working towards the next big leap forward—be it automation, personal transportation, hover technology, or the promise of the untested Hyperloop. However, there is still much to improve upon, aesthetically and functionally, with existing forms of transportation. Considering the critical role transportation plays, innovation within our current transportation categories is just as critical as innovating new technologies. For our Transportation category, we asked for “vehicles, systems or modes of transportation used to get people or objects from one place to another, for private, public, commercial or industrial purposes.”

Our Transportation category was captained this year by Eric Noble, Professor of Vehicle Technology at Art Center College of Design. Joining Eric on the Transportation team was Alex Alexiev, Automotive Designer at McLaren, Anne Asensio, Vice President Design Experience at Dassault Systemes, and Demian Horst, Programme Director of MFA Transportation Design at Umeå Institute of Design.

After discussing judging criteria with the Transportation team, Jury Captain Eric Noble outlined the questions they kept in mind when evaluating the entries: “Is it solving or is it attempting to solve an identifiable problem? Is the approach a thoughtful approach? Is this a doable thing? What’s the impact?”

Core77 would like to express our deepest gratitude to the entire Transportation Jury Team for recognizing the following projects:
