Hi Guys,
I am planning on taking my Industrial Design students (Automotive and Product stream) on a “design excursion” to Italy. I wondering if any of you have done such a trip and could suggest places or studios that are accessable to visits by students and faculty
What are the interesting locations to visit ?
If you can get in, I’d highly recommend a visit to Pagani’s shop (near Modena, Italy).
I suggest Pagani because of the amazing design, process, and final product they create. Also because Horacio Pagani did a visit back to SCAD (maybe in 2004?), when I was there, so I’m guessing he/they are pretty receptive to ID student / colleges, just guessing though. Horacio did a personal Q&A session, brought a car to leave in the ID building for about a week, and a track demo session with said car.
Perfect balance of amazing Italian automaker while being small enough that you might actually be able to score a shop visit.
Then again, I’ve also heard a thing or two about some Italian car company with a prancing horse logo. That would be a fun visit.
