aLIVe: A Low Impact Vehicle exhibition invites artists, architects, landscape architects, engineers, inventors and designers of all types to create visions for the future.  aLIVe will take place at Seward Park, Seattle on Saturday, August 22, 2009.

The multi-phase LIV Project seeks to address the scale of our transportation system.  Out built environment is increasingly defined by and designed around high-impact vehicles such as cars, trucks, semis, and even motorcycles.  As the scale of our built environment has increased, so has its impact on our economic, environmental and cultural health.

The LIV Project is looking for new ways to reduce the impact of transportation on air and water quality, in terms of vehicular emissions and land use.

Media: Functional mechanical prototypes, design drawings, or digital renderings of low-impact vehicles and transportation.  Innovative safety gear and outwear for LIV users.  Products already widely marketed are not eligible.  The goal of this exhibition is to present new ideas.  You are not required to have every detail resolved.
