when freedom is a routine, restriction is a revolution

DIETER RAMS

same as Syd Mead, he needs no introduction… but what a guy to listen talking about design.

and.. he hates american cars of the 60′s hmm

1959

braun vs cadillac

design vs styling

… and it’s not minimalism.. it’s functionalism

My Love,

x, ahh

cars ain’t everything,

but check this talk by Chris Bangle,

Great cars are Art

SYD MEAD…………………………………………………………………

If You’re interested in future You HAVE to know who he is and what he did! Search for this name. I can’t even describe how incredible his stuff is. I would let him design the world, but maybe not every car

really, really, really if You don’t know him.. research!!!

picture above was posted by Prof. Michael Stoll on his flickr.here:

very rare book, very nice share, also don’t miss the interview with S.Mead which M.Stoll links too in the description.

questions like why does the cars not fly yet      ..haha, cool stuff

oh and if you like. watch BLADE RUNNER, whole different topic as well as Ridley Scott.

You know when two of these now RETRO(big fashionable word now) meet on the road, for example red light, the drivers immediately connect with each other: “what year’s yours?”  “that’s so low!” or just a thumbs up even without saying anything.

Now imagine two mmm, Audi A6′s? 2009 models?.. both on red lights?  They would not even look at each other, or if one would show a thumbs up to the other one he would think WHAT A *$%*$!!!   WHAT’S HE ON ABOUT?!?!?

Is it just because of the hobby like interest in old cars? Unity of old car owners against the new cars, that makes people owning an old v-dub camper connect with other old camper dirvers?  just the way it is…

oh and by the way.. SLAM IT!

BIG WORDS – HENRY FORD

I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can’t be done.

Henry Ford

I always wonder what people like H.Ford would say about automotive industry if asked today
