Design meets Ecotechnology
Not only eco-friendly, but also beautiful: Tomorrow's electrical mobility will require suitable charging stations. At the Vienna University of Technology (VUT), the design and functionality of charging stations for small electric vehicles has been investigated. New design ideas in this field are presented at the Vienna Design Week. Driving through the city on an electric bike and going window shopping while the battery is being recharged: this could soon become a part of our daily life. Architects at the Vienna University of Technology have been working on design concepts for charging stations at home, at university, or in the public space. The results of this project are presented at the Vienna Design Week'10. In a university course on product design, twelve students developed their ideas.
