At the London 2012 Olympics Brits have opted for a different design approach than Beijing: regeneration and reuse. How have they done? From "baffling" logos to inspiring "legacy" planning, we hear all about it with Lucas Dietrich, Phyllis Richardson, Peter Whittle, Thomas Heatherwick, Will Hunter, Clive Dutton and Luxmi Ghosh.
