  • CONFERENCE PAPER ABSTRACTS In
    AUTOMOTIVE HISTORIES DRIVING FUTURES Inaugural conference of Automotive Historians Australia hosted by RMIT Design Archives RMIT School of Architecture and Design, Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture Monash University Melbourne, Australia 1– 3 September 2016 CONFERENCE PAPER ABSTRACTS OIn conference program order Laura Belik - Parsons: The New School for Design, USA Cities to whom, by whom? The Minhocao elevated highway case study in São Paulo/ Brazil Abstract São Paulo of the 20th century was a city built for cars. The Avenue Plan ruled how the city would grow, and consequently, how its population would live. Amongst other consequences, the city slowly lost access to public spaces and to a more humanized scale. Nowadays this situation has been facing some changes: people started to claim for new uses of the built environment engaging with concepts of spatial democracy. This paper will explore one case study within São Paulo (Brazil): The Minhocão, a soon-to-be deactivated elevated highway, and the debates involving a range of actors over the future of the structure. Considering urban land as a commodity, especially when it comes to its road system, it is difficult to separate the uses of any space without understanding them as a repercussion of the power of capital or governing influences. The main challenge is to understand how to make public spaces and the cities more democratic, and, in this sense, how to recognize the potential city spaces can have. A city that was once ruled by the automotive planning, today is repurposing itself through popular demands. But the palimpsest of an era will prevail in its landscape.

  • Preston Tucker: His Car and the Men Who Helped Create It by STEVE REPERGEL
    Preston Tucker: His Car and the Men Who Helped Create It By STEVE REPERGEL Recently, I had the privilege of speaking to Philip S. Egan, author of “Design and Destiny: the making of the Tucker Automobile.” Now 81, Egan, an industrial designer, helped make Preston Tucker's dream car a reality. This story outlines my conversations with Egan, presents findings derived from his book and offers insight into the minds of the automotive geniuses who worked so diligently behind the scenes. As a highly creative individual who possessed acute visionary skills and a refined sense of business acumen, Preston Tucker was without question a successful entrepreneur long before he envisioned the Tucker automobile. Much of his success is credited to his personality---he had the talent and gift to make people believe and invest in his ideas. Preston Tucker began his entrepreneurial triumphs during World War II with inventions of mechanical design. His involvement with military staff at Washington D.C. led to contributions on the Sherman Tank, the creation of the infamous Combat Car and the Tucker Turret which was used widely throughout the Second World War His interest in automobiles, especially with regards to speed, was sparked by his close relationship with famous racecar driver and designer Harry Miller. From his associations with Miller, Tucker spent much time composing concepts of mechanical ingenuity that could be applied to the inner workings of a revolutionary automobile. It was clear, however, that Preston Tucker would not be satisfied with just selling his ideas about automobiles. He wanted to produce a vehicle on the open market that he could proudly claim as his very own.
