IAAD. is universally recognized as one of the most important Automotive Design Schools in Italy and in the world. Our students have been proudly creating innovative projects for the last 40 years in Turin, the heart of the Italian automotive industry, and many of them have then moved on to become active part of iconic brands. Still, when speaking of Transportation design, we know that this is not about just giving birth to a beautiful show car: many elements need to be considered and included in the equation. Designing a vehicle today must take into account technological, social, marketing needs, budget constraints, and environmental sustainability. Younger generations are carrying out their concerns for the environment, calling out what we collectively, as a Society, can do to minimize our impact over it. They want to continue moving from one place to another efficiently, yet limiting as much as possible the environmental and economic impacts and costs of it. That is why our Transportation Design Bachelor’s Degree deals with the study of the main means of transport with a focus on mobility systems and environmental sustainability, with the aim of training fully-aware designers by transmitting the importance of knowing the referring market and the society that embodies it.

The Product Design Specialisation, itinerary in Transportation Design is a university degree (240 ECTS). This course provides students with the knowledge and skills they need to develop mobility solutions in the broadest sense, ranging all the way from designing the inside and outside of a motorbike, car, airplane, train or boat to all kinds of accessories and associated services.

The Transportation Designer is a professional concerned with designing the primary means of transport and capable of designing a number of different kinds of vehicles, such as motorbikes, yachts, and mobility systems. The Transportation Designer is able to reconcile aspects of style, technique, aerodynamics, production feasibility, and ergonomics. This kind of designer must have a profound understanding of the product and the functions that the consumer is looking for, so as to be able to have a clear idea about the relationship between design and marketing, innovation and commercial requirements along with the social trend and the economic background in which he is operating.

Develop skills and knowledge that will enable you to create innovative and visionary concept designs for all forms of transport. High-tech cars, yachts or flying machines, unleash your vision and learn to create innovative design solutions in a range of styles and media. Explore purpose, usability, materials, ecology, desirability, technological feasibility, and professional constraints with input from experienced staff and industry collaborations.
