Made in Britain: Design for Export

on BBC One London

Products - ideas - techniques
The export drive: spotlight on the men, the methods, the markets that are earning Britain's living abroad.

School buildings in Africa, housing in America, hotels in Europe. These are just some of the projects British architects have been designing overseas as increasing numbers of this country's 20,000 qualified practitioners face a drop in both public and private building at home. But there are other considerations; how to overcome local problems of climate, language, and labour, and what to do about getting paid if revolutions come and governments change.
