Tomas Maldonado in his critique of Buckminster Fuller’s belief that “Revolution by Design” would be exclusively an act of technological imagination states that for its success design would need what C. Wright Mills called “sociological imagination”, that is both technical courage as well as social and political courage, to achieve real lasting results.
Design is expanding in scope and meaning and design education needs to stay in touch to be effective. In this opening post from Bangalore in great weather and from the brand new R & D Campus of the National Institute of Design I am sharing a few pictures taken with faculty and students of the Bangalore Centre.

Ranjan, good to see the first glimpses of the Bangalore campus through your blog.
Just came across this wonderful resource on 'diagramming' from the Open University UK, thought it will be useful for the students as they go into the next assignment of modelling information - http://tinyurl.com/2lubwy
