"Archetype" is the future luxury through evolution and inheritance beyond the time.
The concept is inspired by cultural researches both for British and Japan, significance of time as the key aspect. The "Pace layering" concept as its core idea, a combination of different life cycles of each function / component of the automotive architecture fosters to perceive the car deconstructed, as if it metabolizes over time. This enhances adaptation and long term user relationship over generations, enabling continuous refurbishment and radical tailor-made on top of the specific user demands according to their lifestyle changes.
On the other hand, scientific research for both innovative sustainable materiality, design and manufacturing technologies is the other key factor. Cellulose Nano Fibers (CNF) composite forms larger parts of the vehicle, not only the cabin floor and exterior body panels, but also alternating glass sections. Anodized Titanium will be utilised largely for the unified body upper frame, realising radical body typology / passenger capacity transformation on top of the same floor design. Additive manufacturing technology and generative design methodologies including topology optimisation will support such drastic materiality and frequent transformation of the car.
Interior space can be the core experience. As the unique identity of the car, radically long life "Central Signature" will be installed as if a curated art piece. This holds "Memory Crystal Storage" that will carry encrypted personal memories of the users over a million years. On the contrary, human touch points and interfaces will be fabricated with short paced materiality. This enhances use of a wider range of sustainable materials and its functional metabolism.
Finally, the exterior feature will be attached on top of the architecture. The exterior panels can be manufactured by various materials but notably CNF and either by machine or human hand works. Hence the exterior can be a more flexible feature rather than "static bended metal skins" that cannot be modified after manufacture.
