Dear Friends,
As you may well guess, my reply to Cameron Tonkinwise post was only
meant to him.
I must apologise first to him and then to all of you.
Anyway, those who were expecting to meet me in Paris for the Paris
Hothouse and nag me about the (more than expected) failure of Portugal
football team in the Euro 2012 or the about the joys financial
austerity, know that this wont be possible.
Also, every one knows by know that only a major (bureaucratic)
catastrophe will prevent IADE from starting its doctoral program on
Design soon.
And yes, since the times of Richard Buchanan at CMU, we are interested
in networking with them. As we are with others. As we have been doing
since the early 2000's. The worse thing for a doctoral program is to
became a cocoon.
On the verge of starting the program I wish to thank Terence Love, Ken
Friedman, Christena Nippert-Eng, Richard Buchanan, Victor Margolin,
Clive Dilnot (enormously), Rachel Cooper who helped us shaping the
program with their knowledgeable opinions . I'm forgetting lot's of
people. I'll be back with complete list (most of them that participated
in our first doctoral workshop along with the Cumulus conference in
Lisbon in 2005)
Again, Apologies and thanks,
Eduardo Corte-Real
IADE- Lisboa
