Air date: Nov 26, 2015

The final episode explores the impact design has on our everyday lives, sometimes in ways we don’t realise, and uncovers the increasingly visible role that Irish architects and designers now play in a global design industry. It explores how Irish designers are using “design thinking” to improve our lives and our environment. It looks at some beautiful re-designs of urban and rural spaces and showcases international Irish design successes including international best-selling iPad digital baking assistant ‘The Drop’; ‘Moocall’, an innovative calving alert sensor for farmers; and the award-winning all-glass Mimetic House by architect Dominic Stevens.
