How Can We Design a Better World?

Available for over a year

In partnership with the London Design Biennale, The Cultural Frontline presents a panel discussion on the social impact of design. In front of a live audience in London’s historic Somerset House, a panel of leading designers and creative minds discuss how design can transform people and society. From the reimagining of a Guatemalan town through the craft and creativity of local artisans to the forging of an architectural vision of a future Mogadishu, we explore how architects and urban designers are working to reinvent areas afflicted by poverty or conflict. Plus we will take a step into the future and hear how the Norwegian government plan to make the nation “inclusively” designed, from classroom to hospital, by 2025. Our presenter Tina Daheley is joined by Paola Antonelli of New York’s Museum of Modern Art, Onny Eikhaug of the Norwegian Design and Architecture Centre, Madina Scacchi of the Somali Architecture Project and from the Guatemalan Design Pavilion, social entrepreneur and industrial designer, Diego Olivero. Presented by Tina Daheley Produced by Mugabi Turya, Kirsty McQuire, Shoku Amirani, Laura Hyde and Nancy Bennie.
