Transportation Design

Representation techniques have developed strongly since the advent of the computer and the use of specific software has had a strong impact on the work of the Designer. Photoshop is the program most used worldwide thanks to its ease of use and its completeness. The student will learn both photo touch up techniques as well as drawing techniques beginning from the white page. Teacher: For information about teachers please contact IED

Virtual modelling is a tool that designers use to transform a two-dimensional drawing into a three-dimensional shape. Alias, thanks to its flexibility, immediacy and intuitive controls is the most broadly used software in car style centres. Teacher: For information about teachers please contact IED

The course is designed to provide a general overview of Marketing and its contents by focusing primarily on the ability to carry out market research and analysis of the general situation of the world of the automobile. The students must be capable of developing a car concept of a future car based on the principles of marketing. Teacher: For information about teachers please contact IED

Sketching is the most common technique used by designers to visualize their ideas and learn how to communicate a shape or concept quickly through fast drawing. It represents a basic technique for visual communication in a Design context. Teacher: For information about teachers please contact IED

The course aims to design the exterior of a vehicle. An understanding of the nomenclature and the basic technical aspect of automobile construction will make it possible to proceed with the development of an exterior developing a good knowledge of the creative dynamics behind form and volumes.

The ability to illustrate the final result of one’s project is crucial to the designer/client relationship. The ability to perceive materials, volume and the applied technical solutions through the medium of drawing is the starting point for an effective presentation.

The main aim of the course is the construction and design of a complex automobile interior. Thanks to an understanding of the components and the nomenclature of the automobile sector in particular, together with the perspective architectural structures, advanced programs for the production of superior quality sketches and illustrations.

Using innovative materials has always been one of the greatest incentives for designers and their projects. It is therefore essential to be very well documented in this area in order to be able to come up with truly innovative objects. This course will include meetings with sector company representatives Teacher: For information about teachers please contact IED

The course is designed to provide the student with a basic understanding of physical modelling. Clay is the material most used in the world’s style centres thanks to its extreme pliability that allows very impressive results in a short time. Teacher: For informatio about teachers please contact IED T

Technical drawing is useful to understand the geometry of the volumes of an object. The ability to represent an automobile from the four different angles is the first step towards understanding the development of surfaces and all theoretical issues.

The history of car design is a subject with many sides to it. The course teaches the history and evolution of car design through the study of the technical and stylistic innovations that have brought it about. Teacher: For information about teachers please contact IED

The training of a professional designer must include a thorough understanding of the technical aspects of a vehicle. To create truly innovative products one must have in depth knowledge of all the parts that go to make a vehicle and how it interacts with the users, the road and the environment.

Virtual modelling has now become a valid alternative to traditional drawing, and 3D representation is now almost as realistic as photography itself. The workshop set out to introduce the class to rendering and real time visualization programs such as 3dStudioMax and Bunkspeed Teacher: Information about teaching staff available contact

The designing of an automobile is a very complex issue that implies a number of very different design stages. The course objective is to create a vehicle to be presented after having completed each project stage. A very painstaking analysis of the brief provided by the external client will act as the basis for the work and the concepts chosen will be developed into small scale clay models Teacher: Information about teaching staff available contact

The development of a well rounded product must take into consideration these three very important engineering aspects. The course is based on the application of the theories behind aerodynamics, ergonomics and vehicle architecture to the car project. Teacher: Information about teaching staff available contact

The course is essentially designed as a support for the final thesis. The students will be helped by market research and product positioning experts in order to develop an effective analysis of the client’s needs, the competitors in this market segment and the final target. Teacher: Information about teaching staff available contact

The course sets out to teach the student the basic techniques behind the production of an industrial object. The course includes meetings with representatives of companies that manufacture various automobile components Teacher: Information about teaching staff available contact

The photo touch up software Photoshop is used extensively for drawing purposes and not just in the car manufacturing world. The workshop will be taken by training staff from other courses in order to stimulate the pupil’s creativity and suggest alternative representation techniques.

The portfolio decides how a designer presents himself on the workplace. Over the years its preparation has taken on the importance of an actual project to which all the basic rules of Graphic layout must be applied. Teacher: Information about teaching staff available contact

In recent years automobile design has been strongly influenced by the introduction of a number of important and essential regulations that have to complied with in order for a series produced vehicle to be approved as roadworthy. The knowledge of these regulations has therefore become of primary importance for any professional designer. Teacher: Information about teaching staff available contact

Sketching has undergone a considerable development with the advent of the computer and the use of photo touch up programmes has changed the actual scope of the designers job. The course is designed to introduce the students to the various software packages and make them familiar with the possibilities of the digital drawing pad.

The thesis is developed by the students as an actual internal competition within a style centre thanks to the simulation of a real professional project. The competition will be sponsored by an external client and the winning project will be developed in the shape of a full scale style model and presented in an international motor show. All the various design stages will be analysed and the vehicle must comply with the regulations, the ergonomic requirements and be provided with a macro-feasibility evaluation. Al the subjects previously addressed will be applied in the project. It is important to underline how the exterior and interior design will be developed at the same time and will be connected to a common initial concept. It is crucial that the student take part in the modelling and finishing of the full scale model to complete his or her professional training.
