Description

The aim of the Master course in Advanced Design for Transportation is to teach designers how to navigate in the future, to evaluate new possible scenarios and to transform them into sustainable design solutions. In recent years we have witnessed radical changes in the transportation industry, primarily due to negative issues such as traffic congestion, pollution, safety, and our current economical crisis which is completely transforming the face of the global automotive industry. Given this situation it is no longer possible to disregard the new opportunities provided by design.

Target:

Admission to the Master course is restricted to graduates from IED and degree holders in fields of Industrial and Transportation Design or to professionals with experience in the field.

Highlights

Students will acquire the various techniques of two and three-dimensional drawing, with particular focus on software tools such as Alias Wavefront and Bunkspeed and will also learn to use the various technologies to test their ideas, exploiting the use of virtual reality in order to come up with highly innovative design solutions.

Students will be required to evaluate new needs that clients will be expressing 10, 20, even 50 years from now, extracted from the analyses presented by famous futurists, scientists, technologists, sociologists, psychologists, even science fiction experts which will be contributing to the open-ended Master. They will learn how to qualify their proposals in constantly changing scenarios, establishing trends which will generate concepts for sustainable mobility in the future. This advanced design process must be an integral part of every transportation design studio across the globe. Some companies have been using it for years, some are beginning now.

IED - Istituto Europeo di Design's Mission Statement

For over thirty years, the Istituto Europeo di Design has been operating in the fields of Education and Research in the disciplines of Design, Fashion and Visual Communication. Today it is an international network with Seats in Milan, Rome, Turin, Venice, Florence, Cagliari, Madrid, Barcelona and Sao Paolo and organizes three year courses that are alternative study pathways to those offered by traditional universities, together with refresher and permanent training courses, advanced courses and post-graduate Masters degree courses. The scope of the Istituto Europeo di Design is in fact, to offer young professionals working in the fields of Fashion, Design and Communication, the most efficacious tools necessary to answer the demands of the production world: a project and communication culture that will accompany them throughout their careers.
