For IAAD, design is a project-oriented culture, a system capable of relating production with end-users, of treating research and innovation in order to give social value and cultural significance to the goods and services distributed on the market. Meaning, function and shape are the cornerstones of a conscious design.

IAAD invests in the quality of teaching and the human and professional value of teachers. It is an incubator of talents able to promote an interdisciplinary vision of design and to provide students with the necessary tools to be an active and constructive part of the change that characterizes contemporary society.

The accreditation by Italy’s Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR), the partnership with AD Education, the new Turin venue within the new Lavazza headquarter site, the doubling of IAAD Bologna premises just three years after opening, the cooperation in cultural and training projects with institutions, corporations, associations, private companies, the evolution of the organizational structure and the creation of an international scientific committee are the most obvious signs of IAAD growth in the present and in the near future.

Master in Transportation design - Motorcycles & Personal Mobility

  • 10 Months |  Full-time

The IAAD. Transportation design department offers two Master Programs:

– Transportation Design – Automotive & Interaction Design

– Transportation Design – Motorcycles & Personal Mobility

Both Masters are structured in a Preliminary Module – which both courses have in common – of about 6 months in which specific Transportation Design skills and tools are taught and a Master Module of about 10 months oriented to the different areas of design.

The Master aims to respond to the ever growing demand of the sector to include young designers in its teams, capable of understanding and interpreting the continuous changes affecting the “two-wheeler” industry, first of all the generational change from “petrol heads” to “digital natives” who appear to have rediscovered interest on the subject, according to new and different life-style, new social awareness, together with the always alive need of freedom that characterize this activity.

Design wise a new approach is needed especially in reference to phenomena such as the electrification of vehicles, urban “bike sharing” and the growing diffusion of “light vehicles” such as e-bikes but also “slow vehicles” such as electrical kick scooter and personal devices, increasingly used in synergy with the car or as an alternative to public transport.
