Design in use: ‘How Buildings Learn’

Posted on May 29th, 2011 by steve

Designing for use is something often overlooked by designers. What happens once the design is in the hands of actual people?

6-part, 3-hour BBC Documentary. Based on Brand’s book. Music by Brian Eno. From 1997.

Posted in its entirety on Google. Part one above. For part two thru six, go here.
