The Genius Of Design

New series on ABC: The Genius of Design

This five-part series tells the story of design from the Industrial Revolution to the present day. The first episode pays tribute to the anonymous designers responsible for ordinary but classical designs.

We live in a designed world, made for us and overseen by a diverse group of specialists that we call designers. This five-part series tell the story of design from the Industrial Revolution to the present day, from the accidental birth of design as a by-product of the ‘division of labour’ to the central role it now plays as we grapple with issues of over-production, consumption and the environment.
Tonight was the first part; Ghosts In The Machine
