Everything is changing in the course of time. And as time goes on the more frequent pictures of history come to take turns. No wonder in this furious tempo of life much remains “off-screen”. But we have symbols of epochs left. They can be people, books, works of arts and design, discoveries…The 20th century was the century of sweeping changes, wars, revolutions and resolutions, discoveries and creative uplifts. The second half of the century marked its beginning from a blank sheet of paper. That was the time of hopes, time of restoration; the time when it became possible to start anything from the very beginning. Behind were the destructions from the World War II and one could believe in anything. That was the time when old values gave way to new values such as family, peace, youth and belief in future. Everything was clear and simple. Much of what was created in 50s-70s became cult, symbolic and imperishable. The songs of such bands as Beatles became anthems. “Little black dress” by Coco Channel became the icon of style beyond time borders, while the cars “Beetle” and “Transporter 1” by Volkswagen became the symbols of a brand-new generation, democracy, “peace revolution” of hippies, new families, youth and romance all over the world. Anyone could take hold of the epoch spirit by simply buying a thing. These symbols were created by time and it was time that paid them back by immortality and general recognition.
People and pace of time made these two car models icons of 50s and 60s. Today it is next to impossible to imagine that the beginning of 21st century could be embodied in 2 or 3 cult things as the world, we are facing now, is too various and too multi-pole. At that more comprehensible and richer has become the language of design. Today things can speak volumes of their owner. “Icons” have come to be more practical and functional. The main value of a new millennium is freedom of choice, and hence are mobility, awareness, human personality and his identity. The world has turned into a single huge megapolis, stuffed with things and plethora of information as echo of a new epoch. The man is becoming powerful, the world – accessible, and a single man’s activity can be measured at times in cosmic scales. The man and his abilities is the main value of new time. And only those things can claim to be the symbols of the epoch which will elevate the man and broaden his abilities. The concept “T-6” will allow a contemporary busy man to rise above fuss of a world megapolis, and being in it, remain free in his choice, in accessibility of information and venues. Grown from abundance problems of a big city within the system of transport communications (system of transport communications, informational channels, office network) will obtain a different shape and turn their drawbacks into advantages.
The symbol of Epoch or “Icon” is always a cross point for various trends: be they in fashion, in arts, in technologies and etc. The shape “T-6” is an attempt to bind functional demands of a modern society with new technologies (technical advances) and aesthetic tendencies of a new millennium. “T-6” is a mobile office, which combines the functions of a working place with comfort of a business-class car. The main morphological constituents of this concept are two cylinders, connected with a transformable section in the form of a hinge. The wheels are removed onto the periphery of the car body and revolve around the two cylinders. Such assembling in “T-6” made possible to save enough space in order to expand significantly the passenger compartment. Butt-ends of the cylinders turned into vertically opening doors. Now to get in a car one doesn’t experience any discomfort with high thresholds. The peculiarity of “T-6” is that it enables one to work on his own and can turn the car saloon into a conference-space if required. It makes possible to organize business meetings both when driving and when standing in traffic jams. Besides “T-6” is equipped with all the necessary things for conducting presentations. A transformable monitor is mounted into the ceiling. Austerity and laconic brevity of lines and forms, restraint of colour range for the interior and outer shell of “T-6” are the things that characterize today aesthetic preferences of business etiquette.
