The Stanford Institute of Design or d.school is “a bold new design institute at Stanford founded by the likes of Terry Winograd. It seems to have come out of “Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Management Science and Engineering, and the Graduate School of Business”. Strangely there don’t seem to be any architects or artists involved – it seems to be about engineering and business.
The web site is brilliant, I love the d.Manifesto – “All you need to know. On a napkin.” The section on “Our Place” also shows their ideas for an innovative project space for students and visiting faculty.
Thanks to Audrey for pointing me to this.
