The project is highly inspired by the rise of vertical cityscape and how it can shape a new context for mobility to exist within. When the destinations travelled will be spread out in the vertical landscape instead of only the horizontal one. A rearrangement of housing, schools, restaurants and parks will create new needs for mobility to fill. In which the vehicles restricted to the two dimensional format of today can not. This will create a new era of vertical transportation to combat the densification of the future.

The project investigates how new technologies such as magnetic levitation could be applied to architecture and open up space for vertical transportation. To give a flexible mobility system in high rise, high density urban areas. And with this create walkways thriving with nature on the horizontal planes. That promotes walkability, social connections and gives more space to people.

When the premise was set, the mission was to create this new type of mobility, its functionality, its experience and of course a vehicle to convey these different elements. This was made through a number of ideation sessions, physical prototypes, hand sketches, digital sketches and digital

modeling. Realizing it into an viable solution.

For this to work, the project was set in the year of 2050 inside of a protoype district. By the reason to let the technology mature, this will also be a pivotal time of how to accommodate for the densification.

Exploring how mobility would work and the everdaylives of the innhabitants in the district.

The Project aims to provoke the perception of what a future urban area could be and how it would affect the need for transportation.

V V The result of this project is Vertal Mono, A compact

vehicle suited for the era of vertical transportation.

It is designed to be a daily commuting vehicle within Vertico district, a prototype district testing vertically connected cityscapes.

Mono is designed to be the smaller human

footprint pod of the Vertal line up. It is nimble and flexible, being able to reach anywhere at any time.

It is an essential part of mobility to the inner circles of the district and part of the communities living there.

Vertal offers an on demand shared experience whether the occupant is riding for a single minute or for 15. The interior space offers great flexibility as a response to the vast range of usecases it needs to fulfill.

This project has been done in collaboration with colleague Simon Turac. Both authors have together done research and then created a common design fictionate future premise where the project is based. The design effort of the vehicles have been done individually, but in a shared context to consider. Through collaboration the authors have been able to tackle a cohesive, holistic future vision.

Watching a city from above is to see motion happening constantly. Crowds of individuals are moving in irregular patterns to unknown destinations. Cyclists and mopeds delivering mails and packages, Trains, trams and buses bringing transportation to the masses. Personal automobiles and taxis taking people from home to work and beyond.

But while standing on a street and looking up into the sky, the time is frozen. The clouds are moving slowly around massive buildings. The motion once seen is lost unless an occational airplane travels by.

Mobility can be seen as the soul of cities. It is shaped by the context and the use of the inhabitants. Transportation enables people and goods to move. It enable essential elements such as, physical interractions, exploration, trade of goods and constellations of communities. This plays an important role in economic growth, communication and globalization. (Rodrigue, 2020) But it is also something that society is taking for granted.

Due to the growth of our society and the

evergrowing densification. The need for mobility has had consequences on cities and the global environment. With the growth of cities comes traffic, noise and congestion. And while some companies are developing more sustainable vehicles to counteract this effect. This could be an opportunity to rethink mobility and how people travel outside of the already existing context. To reflect over todays solution before moving onward.

This change has already started. City planing movements all over the globe have started to rearrange the format of cities. The preconceptions of where and how people live, what they do and how they would get there are changing.

This project aims to explore how the rise of interconnected vertical cityscape would impact the way mobility is shaped. With the intention to provide a refreshing vision of how the urban landscape can look and function. To question what the future of urban mobility could or should be.

BACKGROUND

(14)

V V

Designing mobility from the shift to vertical

cityscape would provide a vision of how to address sustainable planing within high density living areas.

Relating to the UN SDG 11. This also includes sustainable transport systems and the expansion of the public transport sector. Improving these systems for all with special attention to the needs of people in vulnerable situations, elders and children. (United Nations, 2019)

Developing the infrastructure necessary for this project in a sustainable way would be coherent with the vision of UN SDG 9. To enhance scientific research and through it foster innovation. Specially among sustainable infrastructure with a focus on affordable and equitable access for all. (United Nations, 2019)

Setting the project in a far future context could through a speculative approach provide solutions which can expand the transportation design

industries view of what a desirable future would be.

With the potential of design the author is hoping to feed inspiration and influence to the industry.

From the authors personal experience after working within the automotive industry. Being involved with both advanced early phase designs as well as soon to be presented products. The author has observed the automotive sector as any other industry being driven by income and revenue. Even though the companies per say are technologically advanced and proffesionally are capable of creating a change. Too high risk factors and already existing systems overpowers the goal for true innovation and change within the mobility sector.

On the other hand the author believes the educational framework to be an opportunity for exploration and development of contemporary solutions. Designing a prototype city’s mobility system from a holistic perspective could present with unpredictable but nonetheless desirable solutions. The author admires the philosphy of rethinking the current and has an ambition to through storytelling provide a vision of how mobility could adapt to the age of vertical cities.

The following section of this report will show, explain and clarify the process from early research until the final refinements of this thesis project.

The research started with the question “What is the future of urban mobility?”. As mobility is a consequence to its context, layout and the users.

This meant researching what would happen to cities in the future. Through a long journey of learning about citiy typologies, what technologies could enable it and what the life could be for the inhabitants of these kinds of cities.

The author together with his collaboration partner Simon Turac established a common premise to design the vehicles from. A scenario predicting the future vertical cityscape based on the concluded research.

The ideation phase started with setting up a

scenario of how people would live, their travels and how they could interact with this type of vehicle.

The scenario established specific needs for package and other functionality.

When the package and inspiration was established, there was an exploratory period of figuring out the overall aesthetic and appearance of the vehicle.

When a direction was chosen, the author then refined the proportions, sculpture and developed detailing. Designed exterior and interior elements to a feasible degree.

Along with the development of the vehicle itself was the development of the infrastructure, architecture and city layout to a feasible level.

The age of modern transit began in 1863 with the first underground railway introduced in central London. City authorities all over the globe came to see that providing transportation would be one of the core responsibillities and began to experiment with transit systems themselves. Over time the transit sector expanded with trams and buses to compliment the shortcomings of the underground railways. (McKinsey & Company, 2019)

Today, bilions of travellers around the globe enjoy transit every single day. But according to MckinseyCO’s study on public transport the infrastructure and techonology lacks in terms of the demands of personal mobility within the 21st century. This could be an opportunity to implement new types of transportation systems that can satisfy the needs of the 21 century and further.

Along with the ever expanding transit, there are new needs to compliment it. Last mile and shared door-to-door solutions have rapidly grown during the past decade (McKinsey & Company, 2016).

Creating a strong relationship with the already existing transit systems. However, during the 2020s, the costs of commuting via transit versus shared mobility may converge. Which would lead people towards exclusively using new types of shared services as their primarily mobility of choice.

Autonomous shared vehicles would however be less sustainable than transit if there only was one choice. The combination of autonomy and shared mobility can create a new transportation model.

A fleet of on demand vehicles that can provide door-to-door mobility with public transit taking the masses further distances.

The size, shape and attributes of cities are

determining what types of mobility is best suited.

Canals create the need for ferries. Mountains create the need for aerial tramways, and flat cities favors cyclists. Sprawled out cities are defined by automobiles to reach larger distances and denser cities rely more on public transport for a more effiecient flow of passengers. (Rodrigue,2020) Apart from the geography, the human factor have a great influence how people travel in cities. City planners and architects have signficant control to give access to different types of mobility. As cities are being designed with a more holistic and multidisciplinary approach. Transportation designers might gain some influence over how the cities are shaped to start with. (Dockter, 2010)

The world’s population is expected to increase by 2 billion persons in the next 30 years, from 7.7 billion currently to 9.7 billion in 2050, according to United nations world population prospects. (UN, 2019) The gradual shift in residence from rural to urban areas, combined with the overall growth of the world’s population would make it so 68% will live in cities compared to the 55% percent of today.

Density is the destiny of 21st-century cities.

Urban density is the concentration of population and activity in an urban area. There are social, convenience, economic, and environmental benefits of living in high density areas. High urban density is essential for creating lively places with lots of conveniences. It allows for vibrant public spaces filled with people walking, low use of personal automobiles, shorter commuting times, and makes life convenient and enjoyable by

providing many amenities within close proximity of each other. The greater the intensification of urban population, the lower is the energy consumption and the smaller is the carbon footprint per habitant. (New Urbanism, 2010)

“With cities, we increase the possibility of more interactions among ourselves, to create the buzz of a city, to create more ideas, more wealth. That is the attraction of a city and why they are so successful,” (West, 2016, §4)

When comparing the low rise, low density city Houston (Texas, USA) to Hong kong (China). A high rise city with high density. Houston has an average of 3500 people per square mile, while Hong kong on the other hand has 92000 P/m2. Making it 27 times more dense. (Winey, 2012)

The sprawled city of Houston makes it very dependant on personal automobiles as a transit system simply would not be effective in an area of this size. This drastically increases the CO2 emissions and other pollution that goes along with it.

Meanwhile in Hong kong, public transportation and walking is the primary souce of mobility. Based on Hong Kong Government’s Travel Characteristics Survey 90% of the daily journeys are done with transit. The highest rate around the globe.

(Transport Department, 2014)

This shows that if public transport is given the accessibility to easily reach supermarkets, restaurants, occupational and other recreational needs. It can truly be effective in phasing out personal autombiles within high density cities.

Sub cities, urban hubs, prototype cities are all divisions of larger cities meant to regulate the number of inhabitants within high density areas. They are created to be a playground for cityplanners, architects and other proffesionals to try new technologies and city movements. It is an effective method to test new typologies of cities and how they could work. To ensure life quality, walkability, access to green space and short commuting distances. These playgrounds are concepts looking into different desirable futures.

(Singh,2012)

National geographics study on the future city is designed around nature, retaining the wildlife habitats and natural resources. The city is compact and dense to limit impacts on the ecosystem. In a densely developed hub, sustainable land use within and outside its borders helps people thrive by providing water, food, and recreation. According to them, an urban hub is a cluster of eight or more pedestrian-focused neighborhoods. Connected by high-capacity transit which reduces emissions and speeds commute times inbetween hubs.

V V Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill Architecture created

the master plan for Chengdu’s new sub city. Their vision is a self-sustaining, environmentally sensitive 1.3-square-kilometer satellite city outside Chengdu, China.

The great city is envisioned as a prototype city to be able to be replicated in other locations in China. The hub is designed as a respons to the overburdened infrastructure in many of China’s major urban centers. Without contributing to the high energy consumption and carbon emissions associated with suburban sprawl. When finished, Great City Chengdu will be home to around 80,000 inhabitants, with most of them also working within the development. The distance from any location in the city to any other location will be walkable within about 15 minutes, eliminating the need for personal automobiles.

The compact city or city of short distances is an urban planning movement, which promotes high residential density with mixed land uses. It is based on an efficient public transport system and has an urban layout which encourages walking and cycling.

Densification has caused the the 20st century to be the rise of the skyscrapers. Cities all over the world have become taller and taller. But vertical cityscape is not just a sign of the future dystopian mega city as normally portrayed. It comes with a lot of benefits as well. Lower land use and smaller foot print reduces sprawling and spares natural resources. Compact development makes cities more sustainable and foster social connections.

Making it easier for individuals to socialize in common areas and quicker to visit recreational activities. (Akristiniy, Boriskina, 2018.)

“The tall building is the most dominating symbol of the cities and a human-made marvel that defies gravity by reaching to the clouds. It embodies unrelenting human aspirations to build even higher. It conjures a number of valid questions in our minds. The foremost and fundamental question that is often asked: Why tall buildings?” (Mir, Kheir, p1, 2012)

Dan Winey was leading the project of Shaghai Tower. The world’s second-tallest building by height to architectural top.

To create livable cities that feel dynamic and vibrant in highly dense areas. New ways of managing public spaces and the components of the city must be explored. Dan Winey followed the concept of Vertical Urbanism where he incorporated mixed- use space and combined retail, living, cultural institutions, parks and offices into walkable neighborhoods. All within one tall cityscraper.

This increases the livability of the inhabitants as they can wander around this vertical city by foot.

With easy access to shops and services that fulfill

their daily needs. Applying this type of reimagined urbanism could lead to more carfree cities and give space to the inhabitants and their experiences.

To include the vertical dimension into a more tree- dimensional citylayout (Winey, 2012)

These kinds of concepts are especially relevant for cities within the South-East-Asian region. Where urban density are reaching critical numbers, the pace of growth of these cities are rapid. And perhaps in a near future, people living in vertical cities might be so comfortable there that the only need for them to leave the cities might be for recreational activities outside of the city. (Gámez, Lin, 2018)

With buildings growing larger and larger while standing closer and closer to each other. The entry nodes for these buildings are getting more and more concentrated, creating a bottleneck problem on the ground level. (Akristiniy, Boriskina, 2018) Vertical growth is dependant on elevators, a technology reaching back to the 1900th century.

With this technology, the taller buildings are, the more lifts are needed and the larger the core of the buildings becomes. Space is created and lost at the same time, a classic catch 22 issue (Square One Architecture, 2018).

Architects around the globe are trying to solve this issue. With a city planning movement to connect buildings on multiple levels (Swinal, Srilakshmi, 2018). The shift towards a multi level city opens up for possibilities to extend the ground level, sidewalks, streets into the air. Creating more space for pedestrians and greenery and reducing the risks that comes with vehicular traffic. These buildings would be incredibly accessible if designed the right way. The Vertical landscape is at the current state a clean slate and with the added dimmensional to cities. It can create new unique lifestyles that for people to thrive in without the downsides from the cars of today.

V Magnetic levitation is suspending an object into V

the air completely frictionless. This is achieved by constantly altering the strength of electro magnets which are constantly pushing and pulling the object in a state of equilibrium. (Miyasaka, Berkelman, 2014)

Since the electro magnets are both attracting and repelling the object simultaneously, this effect can defy gravity and work in the horizontal plane as showed in the picture above.

The most commonly known application of maglev within transportation has been for trains. Some of the benefits have been a reduction of energy consumption. Since the trains are suspended while driving, wear and tear has been significantly

reduced and therefore lowering the maintenance requirements of them. Other benefits have been reaching higher speeds than previously possible and a reduction of sound pollution. (Han, Kim, 2016)

“A Maglev train car is just a box with magnets on the four corners,” says Jesse Powell, a maglev expert and son of the maglev inventor James Powell. (Powell, 2016, §5) What he states is that maglev trains are driven and powered by the infrastructure, multiple trains riding on the same track could for this reason never catch up to each other or collide since they are moving at the same pace. The magnetic force increases depending on how far away the train moves from the electro magnets meaning that derailing of magnetic levitation trains is close to impossible. (Whyte, 2016)

The elevator has been the primary influence on the shape and construction of modern cityscape so far.

A technology over 150 years old where a single lift is pulled up and down in an otherwise empty shaft.

This shaft is one of the most underutilized and inefficient piece of real estate within the society.

New ways of moving in the vertical cityscape opens up for urban planners and architects to create larger, flexible and more connected structures.

Hacking the connection between urban sectors at higher levels than before. These new types of intelligent vehicles are hardly elevators anymore but part of a larger transportation system. Making traditional elevators become redundant and part of past. (Thyssenkrupp, 2014)

Skypod is a research project that achieves this. It was created by PLP Architecture to free vertical transportion from the central core of the building to the exterior. Opening up opportunities for new types of architecture where transportation can holistically be intergrated when planing the cityscape. (PLP Architecture, 2020)

“If we connect tall towers, not simply with small bridges, but with entire urban sectors – “hanging cities” so to speak – then we will have the possibility to develop plenty of urban activity there, such as shopping, education, and workplaces.” notes Kostas poulopoulos, founder of SquareOne Architects in an interview with “urban-hub.com”. (Urban Hub, 2018, §11)

Mobility is one of the fundamentals to wellbeing. It enables access to communication and fosters social connections, economic growth and quality of life.

Cities shape the way of transportation, the size, configuration and attributes determines what types of mobility are required to meet the demands of the inhabitants.

Urban density will sky rockets during the 2050s.

It already caused the caused the the 20th century to be the rise of the skyscrapers. The buildings grew taller and taller but created bottlenecks around entry nodes which made it complicated to move inbetween them. Cities throughout south east asia will see new typologies to combat this densification. The author is particulary excited about the rise of vertically connected cityscape and how it will lead transportation into a new era.

An era free of personal automobiles where the horizontal space is brought back to the pedestrians.

Instead of traditional roads. The space could be made into beautiful walkways filled with nature.

To test these types of concepts, prototype cities are being built acting as living playgrounds for architects, city planners and even transportation designers to create refreshing concepts which would not be adaptable to the regular cityscape.

Vertical growth has been dependant on the elevator so far. An old technology that constrains more than the benefits it gives. However, magnetic levitation is on the horizon to tackle the needs for high rise, high density cities in the future. The application of vehicular traffic on the exteriors of architecture will increase the interior space of buildings, while on the exteriors create multilevel platforms working as suspended ground levels for pedestrians and nature. Space that did not exist before can be made to promote walkability and reduce the bottlenecks created in high rise cities.

Opening up the cityscape to become flexible for shorter travels with a vehicle always accessible whether the person is standing on the 4th floor, or the 57th.

PERSONAL BRIEF

This project investigates and aims to portray an image of how vertically connected cityscapes could shape a new era for transportation. How mobility can adapt to the needs of the vertical city and create a vibrant, accessible urban area without compromising walkability and liveability of it.

The project is set in the year of 2050, which will become a pivotal time of how urban density is dealt with. And a time where emerging technologies really can disrupt the way vehicles work.

This project aims to portray an image of a future cityscape and a mobility system, through a storydriven approach.

One of the ambitions with this project is to achieve a visionary, futuristic scenario that carries a lively and positive atmosphere. Showing off anticipated future technological advancements and solutions in a warm, inviting setting. The author would also like to portray every day scenarios and events, making the vision more relatable and in extension easier to digest and to discuss.

The author is hoping to achieve a futuristic scenario that feels lively and conveys a sense of wonder. The vehicle should be new and refreshing, yet desirable.

Storyboards should preferably revolve around personas in their walks of life and through them describe the journeys and experiences designed.

BRIEF GOALS & WISHES

25

(37)

V V The syllabus calls for a highly developed and

refined vehicle which therefore is where the focus will be put. However, the context calls for experimentation of how the vehicle could be applied to architecture and be part of its context.

The author aims to achieve a design that he is satisfied with while also attempting of solving part of the cityscape. Due to the limited amount time and resources at hand, the cityscape could be shown only as still images and not in animations as previously planned.

The project is higly dependant of technologies with the potential to disrupt the way of transportation in the future. When estimating 30 years ahead. There is only a small chance that the development will reach the ambition of the projects and therefore educated guesses have to be made when it comes to some of the technocalities.

This project can be seen as part of a holistically designed multimodal transportation system where different vehicles can fill in for different needs.

There are no solutions where one vehicle can solve all needs for transportation in the future cityscape.

1. To address this project, simple storyboards will be needed to explore what these types of vehicles could be and how they would interract with the cityscape.

2. A technical package will then be defined based on the needs of the users and scenario.

3. Followed by gathering inspiration of what the aesthetic of this possible future could be.

4. The creative design phase should solve the functionalities based of the needs for these vehicles. Both physical aswell as experience driven.

5. A refining phase will consider the details and construction. Realizing the vehicle with an advanced CAD model will be necessary for the visuals intended to be produced.

6. Visualizing the vehicle in a realistic atmosphere to convey the audience that the project is not bluesky thinking, but could acctually be part of a possible future and define an era for vertical transportation.

MEGA CITY

PROTOTYPE DISTRICT

As a common premise after the research part of the project, the author and his collaboration partner (Simon Turac) created a common context called Vertico District.

The district is a prototype hub in the outskirts of a larger mega city by the year of 2050. The concept should be applicable to most mega cities within the south east asian region.

Vertico district is filled with different types of housing, workplaces, commercial streets, schools, hospitals, restaurans, parks and other places. All arranged along the vertical plane to create a mixed and rich environment.

VERTICO DISTRICT

The architecture consists of larger connected megastructures that either has Vertal magnetic levitation infrastructure built into the construction along with the architecture. Or as offsetted magnetic levitation planes that can be retrofitted onto existing buildings.

The goal with Vertico district is to simulate a new

sort of typology for this city with it’s unique way of

transportation. To let the inhabitants go on with

their everyday life and in turn research what the

future for high density vertical cities could be.

The interior architecture of the vehicle is heavily inspired by these types of office phone booths.

They are small comfortable spaces for short visits.

Whether it is a 1 minute call up to 20 minutes, simillar to the lengths of the travels imagined by the author for his vehicle. They are stripped to the bare minimum with: an accesible and light seating, warm and welcoming lights, a small working surface to place personal belongings and to lean on. But foremost, they are dressed with glass windows offering a view, wheter it is the office landscape or for the purpose of the vehicle a grand cityscape.

Since the vehicle is going to be driven on infrastructure mounted to the exteriors of

buildings, the author gathered images representing

rooms with the appearance of them being placed

on the walls. They look like modular extensions of

the architecture itself or in some ways the rooms

are complimenting the architecture and adding

a lively factor to what could be seen as simple

and dull before. Unlike these rooms, the project

aims to result in a vehicle where giving a sense

of movement would be favorable. The vehicle

will however be designed with the inspiration to

EXTENSION OF ARCHITECTURE

SCENARIO

The vehicle travels on wall bound Vertal

infrastructure. These “roads” are part of a magnetic levitation grid and can either be retrofitted to buildings, offseted from the Architecture. Or be a hard point for the architects designing the buildings and become integrated and non intrusive. The goal of the roads are to connect horizontal planes to give ease of access to the innhabitants of vertico district.

The Vertal Mono’s can be used in multiple modes to fill the needs of the innhabitants. Wheter they are used for commuting, shopping or recreational activities the space is designed for 1 to a maximum of 4 people per vehicle to offer the flexibility needed. The vehicles could also be used as parcel delivery to individuals or in a larger configuration to transport goods to restaurants, office or commercial buildings. However this project is focusing on snippets of the everyday life in Vertico.

WHERE DOES IT GO? WHO WILL USE THIS?

(43)

V V The pods offer an unpresidented flexibility

in Vertico district and are essential to the

transportation in the vertical plane. Entry and drop off points are placed on every ground floor on buildings, giving the inhabitants always accessible transportation. While at the same time promoting walking to and from these points. The vehicles can also be taken from the exterior of buildings through tunnnels to the inside of large communal spaces. Closing the gap of what is inside and what is outside.

Vertal Mono can be an intergrated part of communal activities within the hub. Such as plateaus for observing concerts or other activities.

Both giving a great overview but also animating the surrounding context to enhance the experience of for example the concert, a park or a marketplace.

Adding quality of life instead of only working as a A to B type of vehicle.

PACKAGE

Package studies where made by the author to evaluate different dimensions and layouts early on.

Using the Google Cardboard VR glasses with simple geometric volumes created in Maya helped defining distance between seats, overall width of the interior and what interior configurations to pursue.

The chosen package provides a flexible space for a single individual in which the vehicle will be used mostly. While having the possibility to have a comfortable space for two suited for friends, couples or smaller families. With the possibility to have the pods docked together to make a train-like experience which targets families, commuting and public ride sharing.

The chosen package consists of a main seat facing outwards for great overviews of the cityscape as the users are travelling through their daily journeys. With a extra seat that is typically in a table configuration when the vehicle is used by a single person. This table then has the ability to reconfigure into an extra seat. This passenger seat is facing the wall, however it is meant for social and more private occasions where a city view is not the

The author chose this package for the flexibility of being able to dock the vehicles with each other to reach more demographics instead of narrowing it down to a two person vehicle only.

EARLY IDEATION

The early ideation was formed without restraints of what the vehicle could become. The requirements where simple: A comfortable space for the

occupants, a reduced architectural exterior and a magnetic levitation platform connecting the vehicle to the grid.

This phase was exploring the construction and

assembly of the different elements. The process

focused on generating a wide range of results

and avoiding self critism to improve the creative

outcome.

THEME EXPLORATION

When trying to find the theme to develop, the author was heavily inspired by modern fascade treatmeants and how they could shape the aesthetics and the construction of the design. To mimic patterns on the background context would create common visual identity to the cityscape.

However the conclusion being that these types of animals where to stiff to be considered as moving objects.

WHAT WOULD THE ARCHITECT DO?

THEME REFINEMENT

The author then chose to develop a more

vehicular appearance to the vehicle. With vehicular meaning, creating a relation to vehicles and the transportation sector as generally known. This can then create trust through the aesthetics of the vehicle. An unconventional format like this one needs to convey it’s capability to become an attractive mode of transportation.

To convey a sense of capability, the shape became more and more of a trapezoidal form with a larger extended soft “sole” as the platform containing the PECULIAR - VEHICULAR

crucial magnetics for moving. The silhouette by itself create a stance that makes the vehicle look at it is going to be secured to the wall, reducing fear among some occupants. The lip of both sides of the sole are well rounded to give the mono a look of not being static. Balancing the movement inwards the wall and the omnidirectional shape.

The part facing outwards became the facade of

the vehicle. It still retains the qualities of the more

architectural direction previously explored. As

it is the piece most commonly seen within the

INTERIOR DESIGN

The interior design of the vehicle was inspired to be a simple and light space for short visits. It is a minimal and reduced interior made to be accessible for the general public within the hub. To do this, multiple different modes and experiences where designed which created the need for the interior to be able to transition into different configurations easily. With the main configuration being a simple halfstanding pose where you walk into the vehicle and lean back to start your journey.

INTERIOR DETAILING

The floor well works as a decorative carpet to the interior, while at the same time linking the pods together visually when multiplied it. On both sides of the carpet are gaps for rinse and waste water when being serviced. To increase access to cleanability in a public space while also highlighting the technology.

The lamp works as a center piece of the interior, it adds a warm element. It is the only piece of technology that users are directly communicating to as it with pulsing lights and sounds gives the user comfortability and responds when spoken to.

It shows useful information about the journey on its display at all times.

The main concept was to provide a table top surface when folded together to create space for personal belongings or something to lean against.

And while unfolded being a simple bench-like seat that fits people of all sizes, this makes it work even for two slimmer adults sitting shoulder to shoulder, two to three children or one person seated with a large bag next to them.

The seat is mounted on two actuated sliders that adapt to the height of different users automatically upon entering the vehicle. These sliders supports the user to raise them out of their seats upon arrival and adapts to movements of the user.

The seat contributes to making the vehicle available to more use cases and at the same time staying reduced.

FINAL DESIGN

The result of this thesis is the Vertal Mono. A compact vehicle suited for the era of vertical transportation. The vehicle itself is a compact vertically oriented lightweight pod. The pod is sandwiched in between the soft platform containing the necessary electromagnets for propulsion and the façade panel which provides solar energy for the vehicle and simplifies the aesthetic from a pedestrian point of view.

The interior is reduced to the essence of what

is necessary for a short trip within the vertical

cityscape. With consideration for multiple different

use cases in terms of seating arrangements and

storage.

ADDITIVE SCALABILITY

The flat side profile of the Mono enables additive scalability to increase the passenger space in a dynamic and flexible way. It can seamlessly connect the user with friends travelling to the same destination or dock to receive parcel deliveries seamlessly while traveling the cityscape.

While not in use, the Monos can create clusters

to blend in or compliment the architecture it sits

on. To become less of a hinder and transfer solar

energy onto the road network.

VERTAL STTN_S4:12:F67

The Mono can be taken from any Vertal station because of its size. This example shows a smaller Vertal station that would be located within a 15 minute walking distance wherever the user is located inside of the district. To promote walkability on the horizontal planes along with the flexibility of the Mono in the vertical ones.

The station itself gives cover from the elements, provides a waiting space and foremost a grand entrance to the vehicle, the ingress is completely flat enabling people coming with micro mobility options to simply roll on.

To start of the user simply leans back into the chair and tells the vehicle that she or he is ready to take off. The user can dynamically adjust the seat to suit his or her needs for the specific use case.

This image shows how the Mono magnetically docks with another one, opening the interior space for social interactions and providing more space suitable for groups of friends and families.

Adding on additional Monos while travelling enables a more seamless kind of travel experience where users do not need to decide on specific locations where to meet up as it can happen already inside of the vehicle. Both reducing confusion and increasing efficiency.

CONCLUSION

This thesis has been an interesting journey to say the least, with many turns and twists. What started as a colonization of Mars, to a space prototype at Antarctica to the future of public transport which then finally became how transportation will be affected by the age of vertical cityscapes.

This was a stressful period where personal ambition and overachieving out ruled what would be expected and common sense. The feedback was constructive and fair, however the downward spiral of reformulating the project demotivated the author which led to a sense of hopelessness and a narrower productive time frame. Something that the author has not had issues with over previous projects during the master’s education became a pressing factor for the outcome of this one.

This unfortunate downswing was a result of poor time management, structure but foremost the ambition of the project.

After interning at various companies throughout his design studies. Something that struck the mind of the author was how romanticized the thesis project had been for a lot of colleagues. The author has been given advice which has caused confusion when framing the premise of this project. Where some told to focus solely on topics targeting specific companies, others told to revolutionize and provide something unexpected. This among other discussions led to expectations that where far to ambitious and unsuitable for the educational syllabus and timeframe.

The author had multiple long talks with colleague Simon Turac discussing how to get the project back on track, to catch up with the thesis projects created by the other talented classmates. In

hindsight, what was lacking was trust for the design process which was overshadowed by a spiral of negative thoughts. It was necessary to disconnect with the author’s emotions at that moment to regain trust and confidence that the author can produce highly defined designs regardless of the context.

A turning point was reached when establishing Vertico District as the premise for the project. The concept suddenly became narrow enough to work on. It became easier to explain to and defined the outcomes for the project. Which raised the confidence of the author during the design process.

The process was affected by the current pandemic

situation around the world in both positive and

negative ways. Less social interactions with

students from school made it like designing in

a vacuum, from an improvised workspace. For

example, the heavily improvised package mock-ups

that where necessary to get a sense of scale for the

vehicle. This depended on creative workarounds

because of the lacking resources that would have

been available at UID.

(77)

V V Another physical interruption was the access to

a proper working table and chair, which lead to unnecessary back pains. However, this turned out to become a valuable lesson of how to treat the body. Considering the circumstances, this pandemic also gave plenty of focus. Which meant a faster process where the author could achieve the state of flow easier and retained it for longer periods of time.

The ongoing pandemic also adjusted parts of the design to become more accessible for sanitation and cleanability. Something that always should be taken in consideration while designing shared mobility vehicles, which the authors estimates will see a significant increase of importance from now on.

Designing a vehicle and its context simultaneously is challenging and complex. To reduce these complexities, the author strived to design the infrastructure in a simple way which would not compromise vehicles driving on it. This thesis shows only one possible solution of how vertical transportation could be applied. A shared transportation system provides the possibility of having multiple different vehicles serving different needs.

The result of this thesis is unexpected but nonetheless refreshing and attractive. It gives a glimpse of what mobility could be past an era of the traditional automobile. The vehicle per say does not contain all the answers, though it works as a seed towards a new holistic solution.

The author humbly hopes that the industry will be interested in such a distinctive vision as this one.

That it will create discussions of what a desirable future city could look like, what impact mobility could have when designed in symbiosis with architecture, or how mobility could be designed with walkability in mind. Hopefully, The Vertal Mono will spark one of these debates in some design studio around the world. Or in this case, a zoom conference call.

Looking back, the author feels confident in

achieving most of the initial goals. The design

process has been bumpy and unpredictable this

time. The author would always prefer an exciting

roller coaster ride over smooth sailing on the sea.
