Piet Westendorp is no longer with us. I am my colleague at Mälardalen

I in this forum express my condolences to his family and friends?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Shocking and sad news. <br>
<br>
Piet Westendorp's work was an inspiration for my PhD research on software
instructions.<br>
Indeed, his contribution will continue to inspire and inform many designers, <br>
including colleagues from the Portuguese and Brazilian community, which I came
from.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>Dear list,<br>
<br>
This morning, I received a message from Piet Westendorp's partner<br>
that Piet passed away on November 19th.<br>
<br>
His achievements in Information Design and many related areas are substantial.<br>
<br>
To pick just three out of his long lists of publications and presentations:<br>
- co-author of 'Open Here. The art of instructional design' (1999)<br>
- editor of Information Design Journal (2000-2004)<br>
- guest editor of a Visible language issue on 'Visual metaphors in<br>
user instructions' (2007)<br>
<br>
However, just mentioning a few publications does not do justice to<br>
his influence on education, research and practice. His involvement in<br>
the Technical Universities of Delft and Eindhoven (the Netherlands),<br>
his publications in a variety of research areas, and his continuous<br>
involvement in commercial practice made him a true all-round<br>
professional.<br>
<br>
Piet Westendorp has been a remarkable person. I'll miss his clarity<br>
of thinking and his direct aproach, but even more, I'll miss his<br>
inspirational enthusiasm and curiosity.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Karel.<br>
