Car Design 101 - Tour Inside Nissan's Design Studio /// San Diego Design Week 2021

San Diego Design Week is an annual five-day celebration of design featuring presentations, studio tours, workshops, and self-guided tours hosted by groups throughout the binational design community of San Diego-Tijuana. Programs feature all disciplines of design — from interior and landscape design, to fashion, graphic design, technology, and more. In 2021, we explore the theme of Design=. Design at its core is collaborative, interconnected, experimental, and holds the potential to shift perspectives and imagine new possibilities. After a year of deep reflection and changes in the way we work and live, we’re exploring the power of design in action — to rethink, transform, and renew — as we envision a path forward.

Join us for a glimpse into a highly confidential studio where future Nissan and INFINITI vehicles are designed. If you are a student and interested in how cars are designed – from concept sketches to virtual / physical models – NDA’s program will offer incredible opportunities to learn about the automotive design process and approach, as well as skills needed to become a designer. The program includes in-person tours of the studio, demonstrations of key design processes (sketching, digital and clay modeling, VR reviews, etc.) and hands-on experiences.
