Alan Moore, The Beautiful Design Project - what does it mean to be a beautiful business?
Alan Moore, author of Do: Design and Do: Build, shares his experience of design and engineering from the past 20 years, and provides not only the emotive argument for why we need to educate our young designers differently, but also challenge those who would say that such an approach would disregard the importance of commercially driven activity that the design and engineering industry has been built successfully upon for the past decade.
