The strange science of Japanese car design

The wacky world of Japanese car design is coming to the Science Museum.

The “Japan Car” exhibition, which begins on November 29, is an exploration of the car as “a mobile cell”. It aims to show how Japanese car design reflects “the soil and the spirit of Japan” through special home market models and concept cars.
Among the vehicles exhibited will be the Nissan Cube, Daihatsu Tanto and Toyota i-REAL.
Andrew Nahum, the Science Museum’s principal curator of Technology, said: “'Japan Car’ is a new look at Japanese car design by two innovative thinkers – the graphic designer Kenya Hara and the architect Shigeru Ban.
"The Science Museum is delighted to be working with these international figures to present the British public with an entirely new and original exhibition.
"It will allow many people to see for the first time unique cars that are special to Japan. These cars intrigue us and prompt us to ask whether this is a glimpse of the future of road transport.”
The exhibition continues until next April. For more information, go to www.sciencemuseum.org.uk

  1. Get car assessment report whenever you buy used cars, this is very important because used cars once sold are hardly returned and the seller do not take the responsibility once your car leaves the port or showroom.
