Terry,
Thanks for the challenge.
I love these drawings.
I'm almost sure that these drawings are by Victor Papanek.
There is a signature in lower right corner of Drawing 1.
Looks like "Victor Papanek Copenhagen 1973."
In 1970, Papanek published
"Design for the Real World: Human Ecology and Social Change"
Subject matter aligns.
Plus, Papanek was on faculty at Royal Academy of Architecture, Copenhagen,
Denmark.

Obituary
-------------------------
Mr. Papanek came to KU in 1981 as J.L. Constant distinguished professor of
architecture and urban design. He studied under Frank Lloyd Wright and
taught at many institutions besides KU, including the Ontario College of
Art, Toronto, and the Royal Academy of Architecture, Copenhagen, Denmark. He
was noted for his advocacy of socially responsible designs of products,
tools and other objects.
Mr. Papanek created product designs for such organizations as the United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and the World
Health Organization.
He wrote eight books on design, including Design for the Real World: Human
Ecology and Social Change, which has been translated into more than 20
languages since it was published in 1970, and, most recently, The Green
Imperative: Natural Design for the Real World, published in 1996.
He received many awards, including a distinguished designer fellowship from
the National Endowment for the Arts in 1988 and the IKEA Foundation
International Award, which came with the citation, "He has developed and
practiced a philosophy the credo of which has been: design in the service of
mankind."
Survivors include his former wife, Harlanne Herdman; and two daughters,
Nicolette Papanek of Johnson County and Jennifer Satu Papanek, Decatur, Ga.

------------------
Herron's visual communication design programs are focused on preparing
leaders who can proactively manage processes for change and innovation to
improve the experiences of businesses, institutions, organizations,
communities and individuals.
We advocate designing as a collaborative process for identifying root
problems and facilitating meaningful solutions to complex issues.
We seek to harness the power of design to clarify, humanize and energize the
issues that are central to life in a pluralistic society.
