The biodesign of luigi colani: car styling magazine special issues

Abstract

In the 1970’s and 1980’s the access to information, especially in Brazil, was difficult and as the Internet has not yet officially existed - unless to the military and later to some universities – specialized magazines played a very important role in duffusing knowledge. In 1978, Car Styling magazine began publication of a serie of special issues on the German designer Luigi Colani, who inspired generations of designers around the world. The creations presented in this issues bring projects from purely conceptual to global success stories like the Canon T90 camera and experiences in the field of Architecture.
