This course was closely aligned with the 2024 RIMOWA Design Prize, which placed mobility at its thematic core. Over the course of the semester, students engaged deeply with mobility as a multifaceted cultural and societal condition rather than merely a question of transportation. The initial prompts—questioning real needs, perceived desires, and the mental and aesthetic dimensions of movement—proved to be a productive foundation for a wide range of design responses. 

On a macro level, students explored ecological, social, and political tensions, including the gap between collective awareness and individual behavior. On a micro level, they examined personal routines, irritations, and aspirations to identify relevant challenges. The resulting projects span practical product concepts, behavioral interventions, systemic strategies, and speculative proposals that rethink what mobility could mean in contemporary life. 

Many outcomes highlight that mobility encompasses not only technical solutions but also psychological, cultural, and experiential layers, and that meaningful innovation often begins with questioning everyday habits. A series of 1:1 prototypes emerged from the process, offering tangible expressions of new mobility scenarios while proposing alternative ways of acting, navigating, and relating within our built and social environments.
