BMW GINA Light Visionary Model Revealed

Watch VIDEO footage here of the latest BMW.

June 18th, 2008

The world took it’s first look at the highly anticipated BMW GINA Light Visionary Model last week (June 12th), when it was revealed via video on ’utube’.

The video embeded below shows the car being installed in the BMW Museum in Munich. The futuristic design shows how car designers are starting to step away from the conventional materials that make up a car.

GINA stands for "Geometry and Functions in ’N’ Adaptations". The GINA Light Visionary Model’s outer skin is made entirely of textile fabric, pulled taut around a frame of metal wires. The skeleton of the car is controlled by electro-hydraulic devices and move and change shape beneath the fabric skin.

Jemena Melbourne, By Woods Bagot

In a world where technology and the ‘digiratti’ rule all, we all seem to have a strong need for making close online communities with the world at large – but how is this translating to the physical workplace, and by extension, their design? As with the new Jemena Melbourne HQ by Woods Bagot, is it possible to create a sense of familiarity in a space with five levels and 800+ people?
