Education

Tom Hardy was educated in industrial design at Auburn University (1964–1970) under Eva Pfeil (German) and Walter Schaer (Swiss), former students at the Ulm School of Design in Germany (Hochschule für Gestaltung - HfG Ulm: 1953-1968). Pfeil and Schaer established their curriculum at Auburn in 1961 based on the ′Ulm Model′and their experiences under Max Bill (Swiss), co-founder of HfG and pupil at the Bauhaus (1919–1933) and Tomás Maldonado (Argentinian), HfG Rector and advocate of systems-thinking. Pfeil had also worked in Bill's studio where she collaborated on the classic 1957 Junghans wall clock.A major influence on the Auburn curriculum established by Pfeil and Schaer was the seminal teaching of Horst Rittel, HfG professor (1958-1963), whose courses included design methods, cybernetics, operational analysis and communication theory.

Hardy's graduate studies at Georgia Institute of Technology's School of History, Technology, & Society (1995-96) focused on broad socio-historical perspectives as sources of analysis to address issues of technology, science and industry as they affect human society.
