This week on "Sunday Morning" (Aug. 30): "By Design"

Sunday Morning, the Emmy Award-winning CBS News program, aired its annual edition on August 30, 2026, focusing on all aspects of design. Host Jane Pauley took viewers on a tour of Philadelphia, known for its history and style, which has been emblematic of our pursuit to live better for over 250 years.

The program featured a rebroadcast of a documentary on Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), small, fully-functional secondary homes located on the same property as a main home, usually in the backyard. These ADUs have become vital in areas where housing is scarce or expensive, especially in light of wildfires that have displaced residents in the West.

Jane Pauley also showcased Ardrossan Mansion, a 750-acre Georgian-style estate on Philadelphia's Main Line, as a time capsule of the Gilded Age-inspired opulence. The mansion, owned by David Nelson Wren, was available for purchase via Amazon.

Artistic dominos were highlighted as a form of artistic expression, with Lily Hevesh, the world's greatest domino artist, discussing the patience and perseverance required to create intricate structures and patterns. Hevesh was interviewed by correspondent David Pogue on the topic.

The glamour of chandeliers was explored by correspondent Mo Rocca, who shed light on the traditions and significance of these decorative hanging light fixtures. Schonbek, a company based in Plattsburgh, N.Y., and the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Mich., were also featured.

Philadelphia cheesesteaks were celebrated as a symbol of love by Frankie Olivieri, the third-generation owner of Pat's King of Steaks, a legendary cheesesteak restaurant in Philadelphia. Susan Spencer spoke with Olivieri about the sandwich's popularity.

Architect Frank Furness, a former Army captain during the Civil War, is remembered for his fearless designs that broke free from the Victorian era-style. Correspondent Robert Costa took a tour of Furness's Philadelphia works, with architectural critic Michael Lewis explaining the architect's enduring relevance.

Louis Vuitton, the world's largest luxury brand, was featured as it continues to design the future with artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière. Cho spoke with Ghesquière about shaping the brand's future and previewed his latest collection, which included a collaboration with the estate of late artist Keith Haring.

Longwood Gardens, a 1,700-acre nature oasis in Kennett Square, Pa., was highlighted as a jewel of nature. The gardens, expanded recently, continue to provide joy and inspiration through beauty, conservation, and learning. Jim Axelrod reported on the gardens' history and mission.

Finally, the popularity of soft pretzels was examined, with correspondent Susan Spencer visiting the Center City Soft Pretzel Company in Philadelphia, which churns out tens of thousands of pretzels weekly.
