Hillman Hunter 1977

Material related to studying cars. The architect chose the Hillman Hunter 1977 to study the existing model, its plans, elevations and sections in scale 1:20. All drawings are freehand sketches on greaseproof paper. The aim was to analyse the manufacturing design and how the recent model had been developed to create more comfortable space and improve car shell and body elements like dashboard, steering wheel, and storage. The drawing sheet has been folded vertically.
