Andrew Marr on the contribution of the design sector to the economy.

Interesting broadcast on Andrew Marr’s Start the Week, (BBC Radio 4, 19/11/2012).

With guests Sir Christopher Frayling, Antony Gormley, Sarah Teasley and Ron Arad, Marr discusses the processes of art and design schools, the function of design in society and how the sector can positively contribute to the UK economy.

From a designers point of view I found listening to the guest’s perspectives rather inspiring, particularly 09:00 – 14:00 mins somewhat sums up the life of a design student. I recommend a listen!
