Dear Friends on PhD-Design
I have been busy this Diwali ( the Indian Festival of Lights) vacation
putting together a web archive of my papers and pictures on the various
topics of my interest: Design Theory and Education, Bamboo Utilisation,
Crafts and Development and current teaching at the National Institute of
Design, Ahmedabad India. The pages are being added as time permits and an
FTP site for downloading full papers is found at this link:
<http://homepage.mac.com/ranjanmp/FileSharing1.html>
The home site and introduction is at <http://homepage.mac.com/ranjanmp/>
There is not much material available on Design in India by way of
publications and I hope that this is only a beginning and we will see many
of my colleagues from NID and other Indian design schools sharing their
thoughts and work although I know many of them are lurking on this list.
I look forward to sharing more of my papers and design education initiatives
in the days ahead.
Today we completed our two day Faculty Council Meeting at NID and we start
our next semester on Monday morning with 27 elective classes being offered
to our students and it will be a busy time at NID with many visiting faculty
on campus, many from overseas, and do keep in mind that every year we invite
visiting designers and experts to offer electives to our students for a two
week period each year. The weather is great and the campus is charged with
new purpose, a great time to be here. I do hope to see some of you on our
campus in the years ahead. Do keep in touch.
With warm regards
M P Ranjan
