How far can we stretch the notion of a beautiful design? And, how fundamental is it to the world around us and our search for the answers to life's mysteries? We delight in beauty when we find it in the design of everyday objects. It's incorporated in the bodies we are born with and the ways we enhance them. And, on a cosmic scale, there is beauty in the rules which govern the universe. Bridget Kendall is joined by nobel prize winning physicist Frank Wilczek, furniture designer Khalid Shafar and body architect Lucy McRae to explore the frontiers of what beauty in design can mean.
