弹力方程式赛车国际设计锦标赛
(Formula E Design Championship)
 

        这是一项以创意设计为核心内容的皮筋动力车综合设计竞赛,简称“FE”。FE是英文“Formula E”的缩写。与世界著名的F1一级方程式赛车锦标赛相似,其中Formula译为方程式,其含义是“规定”,参加大赛的车辆必须按比赛规则进行设计制作。不同的是,E来自英文Elastic,意为“弹力”,参赛车辆必须使用规定的橡皮筋作为唯一的驱动力。

 

        弹力方程式国际设计锦标赛由世界著名设计院校美国艺术设计中心学院(Art Center College of Design,简称ACCD)于2006 年创办,至今已连续举办13届。这项比赛源自该学院工业设计研究生课程,旨在培养未来全球设计领导者们在战略、产品开发、科学与工程技术、设计、制造、品牌、沟通、以及活动策划方面的综合素质。后发展成为一项激动人心的比赛,一次热情活跃的交流,一场设计的嘉年华,成为未来设计领导者和设计师们提高设计战略能力、实践创新设计思维、锻炼设计综合素质、培养社会责任感的综合性赛事。

 

        每年8 月初,经过13周的准备,参赛选手带着他们精心设计的造型各异的赛车在ACCD 的校园进行比赛,这些车的共同点都是用一根16 英尺长的橡皮筋驱动作为唯一驱动力。大赛共设直线、爬坡和曲线3项单项冠军,两项最佳设计奖和总冠军。另外,参赛学生还需要在大赛期间通过自己的专业能力开展公益活动,以此获得赞助资助自己的比赛活动。

        This is a comprehensive design competition for rubber band powered vehicles with creative design as the core content, referred to as "FE". FE is the abbreviation of "Formula E" in English. Similar to the world-famous F1 Formula One racing championship, Formula means "regulation", and the vehicles participating in must be designed and manufactured according to the rules. The difference is that E comes from the English Elastic, which means "elasticity", and the participating vehicles must use the stipulated rubber band as the only driving force.

 

        The Formula E International Design Championship was founded in 2006 by the Art Center College of Design (ACCD), a world-renowned design school, and has been held for 13 consecutive sessions. Originating from the Institute's Graduate Industrial Design program, the competition aims to develop future global design leaders in strategy, product development, science and engineering, design, manufacturing, branding, communication, and event planning. Later, it developed into an exciting and comprehensive competition, an enthusiastic and active exchange, and a design carnival. It has become a key for future design leaders and designers to improve design strategy capabilities, practice innovative design thinking, exercise comprehensive design quality, and cultivate a sense of social responsibility. 

 

        Every year in early August, after 13 weeks of preparation, the contestants race on the ACCD campus with their well-designed cars of varying shapes, all of which are driven by a 16-foot rubber band as the sole drive force. There are 3 single champions in straight line, climbing and curve, two best design awards and the overall champion. In addition, participating students also need to carry out public welfare activities through their professional abilities during the competition, so as to obtain sponsorship to finance their own competition activities.

      每年大赛的评委来自著名企业,如迪斯尼(Disney),宝马汽车(BMW Group Designworks USA),乐高(LEGO Concept Lab),日产汽车(Nissan)和本田汽车(Honda)等公司。

 

      2013年,北京工业大学和美国艺术中心设计学院联合创建了弹力方程式赛车国际设计锦标赛中国区赛(FormulaE China)。参赛队伍先在中国进行比赛,优胜者前往艺术中心设计学院参加比赛。在过去的6年里,有30多所大学和100多个赛队参加了弹力方程式比赛。

        Each year the competition is judged by jury from renowned companies such as Disney, BMW Group Designworks USA, LEGO Concept Lab, Nissan and Honda.

 

        In 2013, Beijing University of Technology and Art Center College of Design jointly established FormulaE China. The participating teams will compete in China first, and the winners will travel to Art Center of Design campus to participate in the competition. Over the past 6 years, more than 30 universities and more than 100 teams from China have participated in Formula E China.

2005年,弹力方程式赛车设计比赛(FormulaE)首次在位于美国加州帕萨迪那的艺术中心设计学院举办,曾任美国华特迪斯尼公司上海迪斯尼乐园设计总监的于萱是第一位就读该学院工业设计研究生的中国学生,她在当年参加了首届比赛。
