World-class designers to focus on sustainable rural transport

Interdesign 2005 is an initiative of the International Council of Societies of Industrial Designers (Icsid) and is organised locally by the Design Institute, a division of the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS). The National Department of Transport supports this venture and it is endorsed by Icograda.
