IED Turin – Car Design Summer Course

A 3-week onsite program focused on the complete workflow of exterior car design—from ideation sketching to clay modeling and digital refinement.

4. Final Presentation

During the final review at IED, I presented my design process, clay model, and the final refined concept to the faculty panel. This denotes the culmination of three weeks of exploration, iteration, and hands-on design work.

5. Program Completion

At the closing ceremony, I was awarded the completion certificate for the IED Turin Summer Course in Introduction to car design. This represents the successful conclusion of the program and the beginning of the engineering extensions I am now pursuing.

Project Summary

  • Explored multiple proportion and surface studies during the ideation phase
  • Built a detailed clay model to validate form and volume
  • Digitally refined details (highlights, reflections, surface tension) in Photoshop
  • Extending this work into a Blender CAD model → CFD simulation → 3D-printed prototype pipeline
