As the architect Gaudí said: "Straight lines belong to mankind, curves belong to God", and the beauty of curves and surfaces has always been the divine stroke of natural creation. From the classic Windows "Blue Sky Meadow" desktop, to the endless Sahara Desert, to the Antelope Canyon, which has been naturally eroded for thousands of years, nature continues to show humanity the ingenious philosophy of creation. At the same time, human beings are also seeking the ultimate beauty of curved surfaces in countless explorations: architecture, home, electronic products, eliminating the original complex design elements and replacing them with one-piece flexible surfaces, thus showing a more advanced visual effect.
In the automotive field, people are also constantly trying to implant curved aesthetics into design. As a car brand spanning a hundred years, Mazda on the occasion of its centenary birth, with the "new generation of running travel SUV" MAZDA CX-30 once again showed the world the aesthetic style of the leading era, the body shape, can be called the "dome of the shadow surface" of the stroke of the god to bring a visual contact at first sight, but also become enough to lead the current industrial aesthetic curved design model.
Delicate and bold – dynamic beauty and practicality
Cars are commodities, but they can also have the properties of a work of art. As the first SUV model of Mazda's new generation product group, the MAZDA CX-30 adopts the "Soul Movement 2.0" design philosophy born from the oriental aesthetic consciousness, and uses "delicate and bold" as the key word, presenting an irreplaceable rhythmic texture with a relaxed and beautiful proportion.
In general, the higher ground clearance and larger space settings make the SUV model more powerful and space-like than the car, so the flexible and slender design orientation is often not common, and the "delicate and bold" design language is an excellent annotation of the MAZDA CX-30 to fill this gap in the shape, and the "dome curved surface" is also derived.
●"Delicate" covers the beauty of "soul movement" throughout the design, and through the four classic elements of Japanese aesthetics of "blank space, reverse curvature, change, and compartment", the exquisite curved shape of the real "face instead of line" is created.
●"Kokang" corresponds to the vehicle style, in order to show the practicality of the SUV, in addition to the high ground clearance, the MAZDA CX-30 uses a large area of oblique upward line black anti-scuff strips in the lower part of the body, which blends with the elegant shape of the body and shows the tough type of the SUV model.
Reflect the beauty of heaven and earth - the road to simplicity, a thousand hammers and a hundred refinements
Under the design keyword of "delicate and bold", the visual extension effect shows the right elegant posture, which is exactly the "power and beauty" that "dome curved surface" wants to express.
The so-called "dome surface", that is, the mazda CX-30 body side can simultaneously map the light and shadow of the sky and the ground, smoothly extending the side surface of the car, the light and shadow of heaven and earth in an "S" shape curve continue to intersect, and extend to the far side rhythm, as if hidden at the end of the field of vision together with the horizon, inspiring people's driving passion and desire to explore. This is also reflected in the rear styling, under the illumination of the light, the light and shadow continue to flow and extend, and the light and shade performance is three-dimensional and layered, bringing a unique recognition and sense of shape.
Such aesthetic achievements are not accidental, it can be said that the "dome surface" modeling is from the craftsman's thousands of hammers: model designers, clay modelers, solid modelers, color designers, stamping technology engineers, from sketching to manufacturing models to the final mass production, after countless engineers and designers layer by layer of screening and polishing, so that the MAZDA CX-30 finally presents a concept car aesthetic shape.
The design philosophy of "Soul Movement 2.0" and the "Dome of Shadows" that reflect the world together constitute the unique shape beauty of MAZDA CX-30, relying on the development concept of "people-oriented", the philosophy of creation and industrial design once again achieve mutual brilliance, injecting a high-level and rich artistic core into the cold and wooden mechanical structure, leading the aesthetic height of the next generation of automotive products.
