TOKYO (Aug. 10, 2006)— Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., will hold a year-long series of “IMAGINATION FACTORY” design forums throughout Asia starting in Singapore at the end of August. The forums will be held in collaboration with local design councils.
The forums are aimed at realizing new design possibilities through panel discussions with Nissan designers and local designers. Each forum will be accompanied by an exhibition of Nissan’s design philosophy, strategy and processes that will be open to the public to give them a deeper understanding of automotive design trends.

In some countries, Nissan will also offer a one-day workshop for students who want to pursue a career in car or industrial design. They will have an opportunity to have their concept work critiqued by Nissan designers. This is the first time for auto manufacturer to hold this kind of design event.

“We hope these forums will go a long way in sharing our creativeness with designers and students in Asia, as well as raising the public’s interest in automotive design,” said Shiro Nakamura, Nissan’s chief creative officer.

The Singapore forum will be held at the ARTrium of Singapore’s Minister of Information, Communications and The Arts from Aug. 31-Sept. 3. The Nissan Singapore design forum is supported by Design Council Singapore (DSG). The Nissan design exhibition will be open to the media on Aug. 31 and will be open to the public from Sept. 1-3.
