Summary
"This book brings together all the nominations for the Design Museum's Designs of the Year Award over the last decade. It is a unique worldwide survey of contemporary design, reflecting a period of enormous social and technological change that began with the launch of the iPhone in 2007. In politics we have gone from Shepard Fairey's 'Hope' poster for Barack Obama, to the Pussyhat protest against Donald Trump. A total of 840 innovative and thought-provoking projects from across the world are featured. They range from the scale of a Zaha Hadid's architecture to Harvard's human organs-on-chips project. These are some of the designs that have defined our times: Alexander McQueen's bridal dress for the Duchess of Cambridge, Google's self-driving car, the London 2012 Olympic Torch, Pokémon Go, David Adjaye's newly opened Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC, and many more"--Back cover.
