As written in my previous posting Zollverein School hosts an open evening about Design in China as well as about the future development of a self-sufficient design scene tonight.
Unfortunately I can’t attend the event in person, but I did some quick research in order to update my own knowledge about China. While there seems […]
I’ve been pondering quite a few times recently about the key messages for the design discipline based on GK vanPatter’s lecture.
In this context I have to admit that even though my position is that Designers (or Design Managers) need to learn the language of Business and cross the watersides towards management I’ve found his perspective […]
First of all I have to apologise for the time delay ever since my first posting from the recent lecture day. Unfortunately I’ve had to stay in bed for a couple of days, but on the other hand this gave me some time to reflect on GK Patter’s lecture on what he called “Design 3.0”.

Now my comments and contribution […]
I recall some early conversations I’ve had last year with the President of the Zollverein School, Prof. Ralph Bruder about the intentions and goals of the Zollverein School Blog.
In contrast to other recently founded schools at the intersection of business & design like Stanford’s d.school (Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford), the Zollverein […]
Last weekend I’ve had the chance to communicate the basics about this blog to the first class of Zollverein School MBAs who will be (hopefully ;-) contributing to this blog soon and share insights about recent projects they’ve been working on.
I was lucky to arrive a little bit earlier at the Zollverein Site and […]
This posting is for Annkathrin Sonn ;-), the new person in charge for Corporate Communications at the Zollverein School of management and design in Essen/Germany.
