In partnership with Chatham House, the event’s organisers set a brief for submissions that showcased Design in an Age of Crisis. Projects could address any of four identified topics: environment, work, health and society.
“We were absolutely astonished by the number of submissions we received, but even more by the range, breadth, depth and diversity,” London Design Biennale director Victoria Broackes tells Design Week. “They came from Thailand to Togo, from London and Sydney, and everywhere in between.”
The open call was not intended to be a competition, Broackes continues, but rather a launchpad for ideas and conversations. All can now be viewed in an online gallery. These are the projects that caught our eye.
