September 11, 2003 - MA students from Britain's Coventry University Automotive Design course are preparing for their annual degree exhibition. This years Show, entitled 'Streets Ahead' will present 27 students work in the new Bugatti Building, a recently completed £2 million full-size vehicle modelling studio adjacent to the main School of Art and Design.
The projects on show cover the full spectrum of vehicle concepts. Particular topics this year are environmentally-friendly hybrid supercars, urban microcars and future cars for China. The course has a strong international presence, with students from Brazil, Belgium, China, Taiwan, and Greece among this year’s graduates and this contributes to the wide variety of work on display.
The Coventry Masters programme, now in its eleventh year, is a 50 week, 3 semester, course designed to appeal to former BA Design graduates who would like to spend a year honing their skills or acquiring new ones, especially in the use of Alias software and clay modelling skills.
Admission to the show is free and runs from Friday 19th to Wednesday 24th September 10am-5pm daily, whilst the Private View is on Thursday 18th September 6-10pm, by invitation only.
