Video: TalkBack: Paul Finch, Chair of CABE Part 2

Watch sample clip: 2 minutes

Note: to view this clip you will need Windows Media Player, or an appropriate plug-in if you are an Apple Macintosh user.

This programme continues the interview with Paul Finch on CABE (the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment). In Part 2, the importance of good design is weighed up against social and environmental concerns, and CABE's role in clarifying good and bad architecture is explained. Potential problems – and opportunities – for architecture are explored in the context of politics and the economy.

Given CABE's role as advisor to the Government on urban design, public space and architecture, this interview with Paul Finch will be relevant to anyone involved in design and the built environment; this includes all members of the design team, planners and clients.
