The IAAD department of “Car body Architecture”, first one in Italy, opens in Torino in 1978.
Since 2008, the IAAD “Transportation design” department has been entitled to the memory of Andrea Pininfarina.
Today the program focus is developed around car, motorbike, scooter and commercial vehicles design, with a trend towards new mobility systems that highlight the sensibility for environmental sustainability. Since 2009, with the opening of the new Bachelor in “Design of Sustainable Mobility and Transport Means”, a lot of attention is dedicated to the public and private mobility system, for the present and the next future.
In order to guarantee a high level education and the development of an up-dated and dynamic didactic model, study plans find in experimentation the main methodological attitude, and in didactic flexibility the tool to assure a constant professional profiles updating.
Study plans are based on the principle of advanced design and research, aware of the relation between mobility and territory, considering as central the themes of sustainability and of low environmental impact, without forgetting style and shape quality aspects, that have always been the main value of Italian production.
In this sense, the correspondence between design and scenarios is decisive for the creation of a complete, aware and responsible professional figure.
Design requires the knowledge and the management of theoretical aspects, potentialities and expressive means, to be addressed to the creation of innovative concepts. The study plans promote a functional design, where the projectile process starts from a widen research, moves through the exploration of possible scenarios and goes to the contents synthesis, with the realization of sketches, virtual and real scale representations.
Programmes face social, conceptual, technological, ergonomic and stylistic aspects, with the aim of proposing design principles, coherent with environment, society, market and production demands.
Thanks to the active support of partner companies – made concrete with special lesson, didactic visits, workshops, seminars, internships, projects and thesis – the study plans have at their disposal specific supports, constantly updated and oriented to mobility and transportation means design.
Study plans of IAAD “Transportation design” departments have the goal to train young professionals, able to suggest reliable innovative solutions and to manage the project development process, using and checking advanced methods and instruments, useful for the job market.

The educative targets are meant to assure:
- a high-level base training in the subjects linked to the cultural and scientific context of transportation means
- an adequate knowledge of methodologies and contents of the subjects characterizing the course majoring
- a high mastery of techniques and tools specific for design and realization of innovative products in the transportation means field, with a particular attention to sustainability
- a particularly sensible attitude towards contemporary creative languages and a predisposition to the continuous updating
- a strong attitude towards innovation, that considers social changes, market dynamics and opportunities offered by technological development
- an adequate knowledge of professional activity management, in order to support an aware and qualified entrance in the job market.
