Panel Discussion
'The Form & Function of Design: Is Beauty a Dangerous Word?' panel discussion

Charting shifting attitudes to aesthetics
In this panel discussion we chart shifting attitudes to aesthetics, examine notions of taste and ask: what is the relationship between form and function in delivering successful, ground-breaking and culturally relevant design?
