NISSAN | NISSAN DESIGN FORUM "Imagination Factory"

NISSAN starts NISSAN DESIGN FORUM, "Imagination Factory" in Asia.

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., is holding a year-long series of "Imagination Factory" design forums throughout Asia starting in Singapore in August, 2006. In 2007, the forums will be held in several Asian countires. The forums are aimed at realizing new design possibilities through panel discussions with Nissan designers and local designers. Each forum will be accompanied by an exhibition of Nissan’s design’s philosophy, strategy and design processes that will be open to the public to give them a deeper understanding of automotive design trends.

In some countries, Nissan will also offer one-day workshop for students who want to pursue a car of industrial career in design where they will be able to have their concept work critiqued by Nissan designers.
This is the first challenge even in our industry and will be a great opportunity for you. You are cordially invited to come and enjoy our site.

Program

Workshop

In a workshop session, the students with aspiration to be an industrial designer will be asked to make a presentation under a theme such as "What is the car and industrial design derived from Asian countries?" Nissan designers will make comments on their presentations and exchange opinions with them.

Panel Discussion

In a panel discussion, popular high-profile creators in each region and Nissan designers make a discussion under a theme, such as "Can Asian countries become an international hubs of design?" There, people of different race, culture, background and even industry sector will discuss a common theme, "what is our identity?"

In an exhibition, we will introduce Nissan's design philosophy, daily design works and latest designs. The panels, design tools and 1/4 scale models which are actually used in our daily work will be on display for easier understanding.
