By Design was produced from 2006 until 2011. Alan fell ill while working on his program The Philosopher’s Zone in Sydney yesterday, the network said in a statement. He was taken to hospital but died this morning surrounded by colleagues and friends.

I had the pleasure of meeting Alan for the first time when he was invited by Malte Wagenfeld to be the guest speaker at the 2010 RMIT Industrial Design graduate exhibition - Final Assembly. We met on several other occasions and I respected and enjoyed his work emensely. Alan rest in peace.
