When you hear the word "design," you might think of iPods or I.M. Pei: artfully-conceived objects, be it architecture, gadgets, automobiles, or clothing. In this edition of Policy and a Pint from Monday night, our panel discussed the potential human impact that design and aesthetics can make.

Speakers included Bill Thorburn, CEO and Chief Design Officer at The Thorburn Group; Bernard Canniffe, Professor and Chair of Design, MCAD; and Tom Fisher, Professor of Architecture and Dean of the College of Design University of Minnesota.
