This is part of a series of design forums launched by Nissan in Singapore August 2006. This year, the design forum will be travelling across China then followed by several cities across Asia. The design forum is aimed at encouraging students who want to pursue a career in automotive or industrial design, as well as raise public interest in car design.
The Beijing design forum will include panel discussions between a Nissan designer and local designers from various fields, a workshop for design students together with a clay modeling demonstration by a Nissan modeler. The interactive workshop will give the students an opportunity to display their sketches and clay models, and receive constructive feedback from Nissan's designers.
An "Imagination Factory" exhibition will also be held to showcase Nissan's design philosophy and the creative development process involved in designing a car. The display will include quarter-scale models of concept cars and exploratory models. This exhibition will be open to public from June 29th to provide visitors with a sense and feel of Nissan's actual design studio.
Starting from Beijing, Nissan is scheduled to hold the series in nine cities across China, together with each of the local motor shows scheduled from July to December.
