By Design on the ABC

The ABC’s Radio National has introduced a program about the way we visually shape our world.

Called ‘By Design’, the show looks at architecture and material culture and the politics of the built environment and design through the prism of our daily lives. It will explore how design – the way things look, feel and function – reflects social change and what the decisions we make as consumers of architecture and everyday objects tell us about who we are.

Topics covered to date have included ATMs, shopping malls, designing money, the T-shirt design, the appointment of the Victoria’s Government architect, the new suberbia and thin architecture.
I’m looking forward to a range of speakers and surprising topics.
