For this project, she \u2018thought about how Renault might use modularity to design a car that can be adapted to meet the wants and needs of real people\u2019. She describes modularity as a design of components that can be assembled together in a variety of ways to meet the individual users\u2019 needs. Inspired by the pattern of tessellation, she created vehicles as individual units that can also be connected together. Each \u2018modular\u2019 can be transferred into different modes to suit different scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>Winning model is on show at designjunction 2017 21 st -24 th September in Central London.<\/p>\n<p>For further informations about the competition click here:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/YVhMSo\">https:\/\/goo.gl\/YVhMSo<\/a> to know more about designjunction: www.thedesignjunction.co.uk and follow @_designjunction #djKX #wheredesignmeets<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":24832,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24835","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-07-24 15:23:00","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24835","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24835"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24835\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24832"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
