car – mural by jakob neb design from germany is one of the 66 shortlisted entries from our recent designboom competition ‘think outside the parking box’ in collaboration with nissan.

jakob’s idea plays with the urban, tough aspect of the qashqai. seemingly random pillars are sticking out of a wall, able to cradle a cars wheel. a computer calculates the space in between the pillars and arranges the cars accordingly. since the wheelbases of cars differ only marginal in their segments and the pillars are wide enough for a range of sizes, the structure can hold a good cross-section of cars and can compete with other garages. it has an optimal use of space and creates a sculpture of cars in an urban surrounding.
