Dear Jude Chua Soo Meng Last year we conducted two workshops on design education in conjunction with a traveling exhibition on the HfG Ulm at Bangalore and Kolkatta. These were titled Look Back Look Forward where we used the design pedagogy that was developed at the HfG Ulm as a backdrop for discussing the state of design education in India and to look forward to new and emerging concerns and strategies. For this conference we had prepared an Interactive DVD that included the HfG Ulm journals as well as papers from The National Institute of Design which may be of interest to you in your current effort. My colleagues and I are working on a more detailed documentation of the proceedings which we will present in a published as soon as these are completed, hopefully soon. These papers and presentations can be downloaded from this link below as a 968MB interactive DVD that contains interlinked pdf fiiles through a common interface. <https://files.me.com/ranjanmp/1grn1o> The description of the events can be seen on my blog Design for India at these links below: < http://design-for-india.blogspot.com/2010/08/hfg-ulm-and-basic-design-conference-at.html > < http://design-for-india.blogspot.com/2010/04/look-back-look-forward-bengaluru-event.html > With warm regards M P Ranjan from my iMac at home on the NID campus 23 September 2011 at 2.20 pm IST ------------------------------------------------------------- *Prof M P Ranjan* *Design Thinker and author of blog - www.Designforindia.com<http://design-for-india.blogspot.com/> * E8 Faculty Housing National Institute of Design Paldi Ahmedabad 380 007 India Tel: (res) 91 79 26610054 email: ranjanmp@g <[log in to unmask]>mail.com <[log in to unmask]>web site: http://homepage.mac.com/ranjanmp <http://homepage.mac.com/ranjanmp>web domain: http://www.ranjanmp.in <http://www.ranjanmp.in/>blog: <http://www.design-for-india.blogspot.com> education blog: <http://www.design-concepts-and-concerns.blogspot.com> education blog: http://www.visible-information-india.blogspot.com <http://www.visible-information-india.blogspot.com/> ------------------------------------------------------------ On 23 September 2011 13:08, CHUA Soo Meng Jude (PLS) <[log in to unmask]>wrote: > Dear friends > > I've written a paper that's working paper status on design and university > education, and if you have comments for it--even if critical--you are very > welcome to send them to me.
