Lord Vader your yacht is ready

Here’s the Wally Fulcrum 88’ Concept Yacht recently accomplished at the Art Center College of Design. One might easily presume from the continual output from Art Center that, deep down, all designers would really rather be designing starships, and they’ll quickly turn any vehicle of transportation into one at the drop of a hat. Note my own previous design concept as an example of this insidious impulse.
I’ve had a good amount of angst about this unspoken and yet unavoidable rule of Industrial Design: the “starshipping” of everything from toasters to autos to yachts, because obviously (as the latest Art Center effort ably proves) it’s easy to lose sight of “form follows function” and deliver an 88’ yacht with roughly the accommodations of a Cal 34.
Of course, the ideal client is the one who really wants a starship too.
