About Those Parking Spaces…
We have to admit—it’s pretty fun working at an art and design school.
What did we find in the staff/faculty parking lot today but some new, personalized names on some of the parking spaces?
Check out the slideshow above. We can guess it’s a student project, but share with us what you know about this amusing project!
Great Fun at Car Classic
Sunday’s Car Classic ’10: Freedom of Motion, was a success! While a little drizzly at times, the crowds were not deterred, visiting Hillside Campus to tour studios, look at student work, hear guest speakers and, of course, check out the automobiles (and aircraft, watercraft and motorcycles!)
Keynote speaker was Transportation Design alumnus Frank Stephenson, design director for McLaren Automotive.
“The Mini was the first car I ever stole,” joked Stephenson. He was referring to sneaking out in his mother’s as a young teenager. “It was that easy to drive,” he explained. Fitting that fate would have him involved in the redesign of the vehicle decades later.
Also speaking was Photography alumnus Jeff Zwart, award-winning automotive photographer and commercial film director who recently set a new record racing up Pike’s Peak in a Porsche 911 GT3.
“You never realize how much your childhood interests will influence your life later on,” Zwart said as he remarked on growing up (with childhood friend, alum and automotive design superstar Freeman Thomas) with a love of everything automotive.
Highlights of the show included the new McLaren MP4-12C, a 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic and an ICON A5 sport aircraft.
