There have been several changes in personnel affairs in the past ten years, and probably no one can accurately imagine what Hong Kong will be like in the next 30 years.

Recently, the International Auto Show (Hong Kong) Management Co., Ltd. organized the "Design for the Future" car design competition. The Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI) graduate of the product design department, Suiying Zhou, won the award and was given an internship opportunity at the Italian luxury car design company Zagato .

Zhou Suiying said that the design idea stems from the difficulty of breastfeeding by working women, and it is difficult to find a comfortable private space. Therefore, the car of 2050 is designed to have a round shape, and the seat can be deformed to fit passengers of any body, giving passengers a place to stay. The feeling of comfort in the mother's arms; and considering the narrow and congested roads, the car can fit according to the situation.

The design stems from the difficulty of breastfeeding for working women

The Hong Kong International Automobile Expo (IMXHK) will be held from August 18th to 24th next year. Its organizer, the International Auto Show (Hong Kong) Management Co., Ltd., launched the "Design the Future" car design competition for Hong Kong college students earlier.

Andrea Zagato, the chief judge of the competition and the chief executive officer of Zagato, praised the champion's work, referring to the imitating embryo design, which is very positive and inspiring, and truly brings the concept to life in the work.

The champion Zhou Suiying defeated more than 50 tertiary students in Hong Kong and won an internship opportunity at the Italian luxury car design company Zagato.

She recalled that due to the raging epidemic in Italy, the time for the announcement of the results was delayed, so she mistakenly thought that she had already lost the election. She was shocked when she received the call to win the prize.

Zhou Suiying said that the design idea originated from the preparation of school graduation works last year. She thought that modern women pay more and more attention to their personal lives and need to balance the individual and family. After seeing a report on breastfeeding in a public space, she found several full-time women. access.

Among them, she is most impressed by the fact that there are working mothers who work in industrial buildings and can only breastfeed in a narrow space. Therefore, she feels "What is the difficulty of breastfeeding in Hong Kong?"

The idea is that the

driverless

seat can be modified

As the competition stipulates that the car will be designed in the future 2050, Zhou Suiying thinks of the relationship between her mother and the car along with the school's work.

She imagined that artificial intelligence will develop to the ideal stage, realizing unmanned driving, and developing new materials that are ergonomic, and the seat can be deformed to fit passengers of any body shape, including babies and adults, to improve the safety of the car and allow passengers to stay in their mothers. The feeling of comfort, warmth and safety in your arms.

"As for my body shape, I can't get FIT on the bus and the benches, and the seat belts are weak."

Asked why the car is designed to have a round appearance, Zhou Suiying hoped that the car would not have a sense of shuttle corners. She pointed out that the streamlined design of a sports car had a strong mechanical sense, while the driving sense of a suspended car was weak.

She also thought of adding a combination of functions to cars. Because Hong Kong’s roads are narrow and congested, if the cars fit in accordance with the road conditions, "will the situation be relieved by burying the cars together?"

"There is no way to persevere in enthusiasm."

It turned out that Zhou Suiying had studied in the Mainland. After graduating from high school, she went to Hong Kong to study for a diploma in basic courses. She started again and was promoted to the College of Design and Design. She earned 3.5 points in GPA.

She revealed that in middle school, classes must be held at 6:30 in the morning, and painting skills must be honed until 12:30 in the evening.

Maybe her hard work in the past allowed her to stand out in the competition and get the opportunity to study in Italy.

Zhou Suiying encourages younger generations to grasp the age of students and participate in different competitions to accumulate experience. She also revealed that the time cannot be allocated to all subjects evenly. For example, subjects with a higher percentage of points spend more time designing plans, and the related content can cope with other subjects. .

She also pointed out that only by designing products with enthusiasm can we discover more possibilities, "If there is not enough enthusiasm, there is no way to stick to it."
