• Five Essays on Design: Short essays on a philosophy of design, the challenges of cognition, cross-discipline working and creative practice in a material world. Illustrated by Prof George Hardie. The texts are intended as departure points for creative workshops and were first explored with postgraduate students in the department of Digital Media at Rhode Island School of Design. Further workshops in conjuction with the Brighton and Sussex CETL centres will be held in 2006/7. A version of the paper is available to download in Adobe Acrobat format.

• As visiting Professor in Graduate Studies in 2007, Chris Rose was invited to write a contribution to a student-led initiative named the "Respond-Design" network. The group curated a diverse exhibition addressing the future of responsible design practice, and Chris' written conclusion to the show is included in the catalog. Click here to download.

The '"Shared Insight"; Understanding Creativity' scheme had its first phase at Rhode Island School of Design in the newly formed Department of Digital Media headed by Bill Seaman. A series of workshops run by Chris Rose explored what could be learnt by situating the experience of crafts practice and materiality within the emerging and unprecedented field of virtual creative practice with all its emergent possibilities. Further participating projects were run in 2006/7, one at Brighton and one at the Srishti college of art, Bangalore and brought together in a two day event in Brighton in November.

Student Research Project

Rose devised and ran “Craft and Society; Design in India” a one-week cross-cultural student design project in conjunction with the SHRISTI design School, Bangalore, and Rhode Island School of Design USA. Project involved US and UK students visiting Narayanpura ceramics village near Yelahanka. Visit was timed to coincide with a PhD research scheme being hosted by SHRISTI on Indigenous Technical Knowledge (ITK) and its connections with appropriate design with traditional crafts techniques in a development context. The week was a preparatory session for a workshop to be run at SHRISTI on cross-cultural knowledge building in the design field, devised Jointly by Chris Rose and Arvind Lodaya and scheduled for January 2008.

'The Object and Making; Function and Meaning' Haystack Mountain School of Craft, Maine, July 2007. Summer symposium linking material culture and design developments in US, including Rob Forbes (Design within Reach) and Ellen Dissanyake. Rose was invited panel member/ workshop convenor.

Competitions
Rose contributed to the International Composites Design Competition 2002 student design workshops- teaching an interdisciplinary materials and processes project with the LTSN materials subject centre, in Delft (With Adriaan Beukers Dept at T.U.Delft), University of Naples and the Rycotewood College Composite materials training facility near Oxford. The scheme had EU funding and ran in collaboration with VIZO and ESCM. (European Society for Composite Materials). International Award ceremony for both Professional and Student competitions in Brussels.
