Our topic for trendspotting is trains, more specifically the future of trains. I’ve come across alot of interesting stuff in my research, and have found some particularly interesting sketches in the book Transportation in the World of the Future written in 1968. What is most interesting is that these sketches are visions from the past about the future.
The train on palette system / Transportation in the World of the Future / 1968
This sketch is perhaps my favourite, and very much what we started to discuss in our group brainstorming session on thursday. The point was raised that how could a train ever replace the car, as it would never, in it’s current form, offer convenient transport from door to door. Well I believe “Fuller’s Travelling Capsule” visualises some of our ideas and addresses this issue well.
