ABSTRACT
Eric Howeler and Meejin Yoon selected the heavily traveled I-95 Boswash corridor between Boston and Washington, DC as their design challenge. They called their set of solutions 'Shareway'. Howeler and Yoon tackled hardware/software interface solutions for booking tickets and driving on new kinds of roads. They looked at transportation not as a matter of getting from Point A to B, but as a form of shared social connectivity. Drawings are a type of communication that's about building an argument and winning favor and support, particularly for competition. He and Yoon demonstrated that ably in 2012, with their entry in the Audi Urban Future Initiative. Theirs was among five finalists from around the world, each seeking to solve mobility issues in specific urban corridors. In late 2012, Howeler and Yoon's entry easily trumped four other finalists from Istanbul, Mumbai, Sao Paolo, and China's Pearl River Valley.
