'Think outside the parking box'

Nissan and Designboom have launched an international graphic design competition in search of a cutting edge design to challenge the concept of conventional urban parking. 

Nissan's new vehicle, the Qashqai, is being pitched as 'Urbanproof'. Designs for the competition 'may challenge any element of urban parking... Ideas must challenge current perceptions of urban parking and offer a tougher, sleeker, or even playful rendering of it.'¹
