Theme:Designing“An ambulance that will serve your city ten years from now”

We had received various designs against this theme, ranging from drone to concept which is assumed for the near future and a vehicle specialized in helpful equipment.
The most of works among them are well considered and we could find a trace that students worked very hard for creating designs.

We have set the following three evaluation criterion: “Consistency between the theme and the concept,”
“Development of the ideas,” and “Sketching skills.

Judges were very hard to selecting winners because of students’ wonderful creativity and originality.

In this #6 CDA Design Competition, the results lead us to a fact that not only creating a beautiful styling of the vehicle, but also your planning ability is important for designing under this theme because it is essential to define and solve current issues on the ambulance and emergency scene that we are facing. At the same time, designers are also expected to add values for creating a new ambulance.

The most important thing to note is that students need to have a lot of experience to win a competition; therefore we encourage them to participate in competitions as much as they can. We, Car Design Academy hold the competition regularly, and offer a place where our students from all over the world are able to compete and improve together.

We have been releasing all of our past CDA Design Competitions’ judging results and winning works on our education platform, and CDA students are able to access it at any time.
