Dear Chris, Harold, and Friends,
Harold writes, "I have come away from this experience convinced that
design learning requires its own intellectual tradition upon which to
build. I am not optimistic that this can occur easily in existing
North American universities but there are some exciting exceptions
like the new proposed design program at UC Irvine in S. California."

Just back from a delightful week in Melbourne, Australia where David
Durling and I visited the Faculty of Art and Design at Monash
University. Monash will host the next international conference of the
Design Research Society in November of 2004. Monash Dean John Redmond
is conference co-chair with David. He and his faculty colleagues Jon
Allen, Arthur de Bono, Denis Masseni, and Robert Nelson have an
outstanding event under way. News on the conference will be coming
soon.
