The "hochschule für gestaltung ulm" (Germany) is an interesting
institution to take into account if we discuss bringing design and
science together. They had a very scientific approach of design which is
is often regarded as having been exaggerated. They only existed form
'53-'68; nevertheless their ideas and model of education seems still
very interesting since what was discussed back than seems to be similar
to what we discuss now.
Sadly I am not an expert on the hfg Ulm, but I hope this could be a
valuable pointer regarding Don Normans essay.
