We regularly catch up with design issues and stories brought to life by the team at By Design on the ABC’s Radio National.

This week catch up on stories that investigate Font design, Urban design in Bogota, writing and trends in sustainable packaging.

Presented by Alan Saunders By Design is a program about how we shape our world - a vibrant show about people and the things that surround us.

From the cities and buildings we live in to the cars we drive and clothes we wear, the program deals with architecture and material culture, the politics of the built environment and design - all through the prism of our daily lives.

It explains how, through the creative process, human ideas take on tangible form and designers reinvent the world to keep pace with its changing needs and desires, lifting the quality of our lives.

The program explores how design — the way things look, feel and function — reflects social change; what the decisions we make as consumers of architecture and everyday objects tell us about who we are.
