Scientific patron Professor Hasso Plattner has agreed together with Stanford University to establish a new institute in which scientists from various disciplines are to unite to develop user-friendly innovations. The co-founder and chairman of the supervisory board of SAP will donate 35 million US dollars to the establishment, which will be named 'Hasso Plattner Institute of Design' and be affiliated with the 'School of Engineering' of Stanford University in Silicon Valley. The festive inauguration took place on Monday, October 3.It goes on to confusingly say "The Hasso Plattner Institute of Design builds on an institute at Stanford University previously named d.school (d for design)." The thing is barely open and already I'm confused what to call it. Is this the d.school? Part of the d.school? Too much festive and not enough brand/communication design. Help me, please.
