Burning the Phoenix

Synopsis
The Royal College of Art has built its reputation on its painting and sculpture schools but many people think that the College should play a greater role in producing designers with the skills necessary to revitalise British industry. Should the emphasis of the postgraduate courses offered be rooted in reality or should students be allowed to develop their ideas regardless of whether the results are of practical value?
