Its activities focus on design, engineering services, conception and production of unique cars or in very small series. Pininfarina’s architecture department invited our Masters Y22/23 students to a workshop hosted at their headquarters. Students were given different design challenges with 3 days to develop and present. During the workshop each student group was aided by one of Pininfarina’s industry professionals.

  • Microsoft 2023
    DesignMorphine Masters students of Y21/22 and Y22/23 were invited to collaborate with Microsoft in New York City at their Microsoft Garage Space. The Microsoft Garage delivers programs and experiences to our employees, customers, and partners that drive collaboration, creativity, and experimentation. Over a week, students were tasked to analyze different aspects of the city and uncover hidden gems of data to which they would then visualize and interpret computationally. The goal of the hackathon was to give light to interesting and not obvious information organically forming around New York City and discover way to implement and use this data.
