Designers to Discuss Trends and Factors Affecting Car Design of the Future at LAHow are changing consumer attitudes and preferences affecting automobile design? What are designers doing to create functional, stylish and fun vehicles in accordance with new regulations and technologies?
This is just a sample of the type of questions that five distinguished designers will discuss, debate and prognosticate on during the panel discussion at the Los Angeles Auto Show on January 6. The presentation is part of the Design Los Angeles automobile designers conference that will be held in conjunction with media days at the LA Auto Show.
Never has so much been riding on design than it is now. As engineering and technology among the manufacturers level out, automakers look toward differentiating their brands through distinctive designs. And for most automakers, the cultural influences and lifestyle trends that surround their Southern California design studios play a significant role in shaping their future product lineup.
Yet, what are the factors affecting car design of the future? That's where the probing questions from Art Center College of Design's Geoff Wardle, who will moderate the session, will begin.
The panel is comprised of designers from Southern California studios whose diverse experience will provide journalists and fellow designers with engaging perspectives on the future of automobile design.
