Need your help!

ok so for a project I have to research a car designer.
I must present a bio and samples of his work etc. (designer must still be alive)
I chose Walter De'Silva (head of Audi design ) for this. originally I was gonna to gordon murray but I thought me and my class mates could relate better to De silva as we see many of his cars around (ie A6). there was also Luc Doncherwolke or Haracio Pagani.
Right now im leaning towards De Silva. Do you guys know of any good books on any of these designers (and their designs). I want to chose someone that I can get a good amount of info on.
BTW, feel free to make suggestions for other designers (that are still alive) as long as info on them is available not just on the internet.
Thank,
Nima

Hmm..Sorry, don't know about the books but I sure have some stories from magazines. I can recommend you Leonardo Fioravanti, Pininfarina, Zagato, Sacco, Murray and many others. But De Silva is excellent choice, probably the best today and I think you can write much on him.

BTW, do you still draw Nima? I remember your designs from FCF and FA..

An intersting project Nima.

Walter De'Silva is a great choice ....well I love his work so...


However, if you have difficulty finding enough info on De'Silva, two living car designers you would find a lot more info on are Giorgetto Giugiaro and Bruno Sacco.

Good luck!

Hey Dominic, is Pininfarina still alive? ....I don't think he is, I'm not sure.

If you plan on writing an article on Horacio Pagani and some of his design work(s), this might be of help:

I'm not sure how relevant it is to what you need, but I thought I'd post it just in case.
