Because the project started out as 5 abstract sculptures, the vehicles, in drawings, were able to take on many different looks while still retaining prime elements of the sculpture. In this early drawing, you can see the basic elements of the Caedius, while the spirit of this drawing is a good bit different.
Another early drawing taken from the abstract model that would become the Caedius.
The contour study is one element of the Pratt Transportation Design Studio that is executed prior to the presentation model that helps further define the form. It was quite a time consuming process to solder all of the wires together, but the results were pretty cool.
