(Design) Industrial Design Dump 1

Here's some examples of industrial design and hard-surface concept art within different categories, done for our ID class at The Art Department.  (Teacher:  Josh Nizzi)

We were assigned to provide 3-5 examples of each category.  Of course, they overlap considerably, and I can usually think of several groups for each design.  Also, these are just a small fraction of what I could've put up!

NOTE:  Many of these designs are "real world" whether they're concept vehicles or ones actually available on the market.  Of course, the mechs aren't, except one!  hehe...  A couple interiors here too.



ANGULAR:

RC4 all terrain concnept vehicle - battery powered

AvA02 Serafim concept jet - for personal use (Timon Sager)

Octuri Flying Yacht


ASYMMETRICAL:


Glados from Portal

Time Machine - Melinda Russell

Treehouse Restaurant




COMPLEX:


Alexey Pyatov

ARC Rescue chopper concept (Leong Huang Zi)

I built this bionicle - I think they have a really cool look and are a good example  for this category.

INDUSTRIAL:


Whit Brachna

Greg Broadmore

Farmbot (Andree Wallin)

Mike Doscher

Guido Kuip




INTEGRATED:
I wasn't sure about this category, but guessed it meant that all components were visibly part of a unit.  In other words, not modular, or at least cleanly modular.

Michelin Design Challenge entry - Kyoung Soo Na

Amaury Salas

NONINTEGRATED:
I assume this category meant designs that look like they can be easily modified, or have been over time.  Things that don't seem to cleanly fit together.  (This would make this category similar to "unrefined.")
