With over 1000 years of influential art, architecture and design, Great Britain is steeped in history but also bustles with contemporary culture. Starting in the ancient English city of York, this program then travels to the vibrant Scottish city Edinburgh and ends at the creative capital London. These contrasting cities represent a cultural design slice through the heart of the British Isles. Creative design projects focus on multisensory products and experiences for public spaces, and the history and evolution of modern British design expression from the iconic Mini Cooper to the mini skirt. Additional excursions include famous historical and contemporary design sites in Liverpool and Oxford, renowned professional design studios, and world-class design venues like the Victoria & Albert Museum and London’s Design Museum.
