Addressing the challenges of rapid urbanisation and the growth of megacities with populations exceeding 10 million, Shenzhen: New Peak is a proposed megastructure that's a small cities in itself. The model for self-sustained communities represents an alternative to single high-rise towers, with more emphasis on shared public spaces and technological solutions to problems facing high-density populations. @london_design_biennale #LDB16 Visual textures and pulses combine with floor vibrations in Louder, designer Sharona Merlin's pair of speakers for the deaf and hard of hearing. Part of Human.Touch, Israel's entry at @london_design_biennale #LDB16 Saudi Arabia's Water Machine at @london_design_biennale is a giant gumball machine that dispenses hard plastic globes of water. Designed by Basma and Noura Bouzo, the installation is commentary on water as an increasingly scarce resource as well as the wasteful packaging of bottled water. #LDB16
The ominous shape of dropping bombs are repurposed for good for Aid-Drop, a first-aid delivery system for disaster areas. Designer Yaniv Kadosh devised a flat-pack system that uses parachutes to drop 3kg cartons of supplies to remote areas. Part of Human.Touch, Israel's @london_design_biennale entry #LDB16 Design Diorama: The Archive as a Utopic Environment is The Netherlands' entry at @london_design_biennale. An entire room is constructed of the kind of blue foam used for model making. All the objects inside are based on real objects belonging to Studio Makkink & Bey. The diorama explores the nature of contemporary archiving, with physical representations of real objects but also an accompanying digital archive. #LDB16 Mexico's Border City installation at @london_design_biennale is a hexagonal masterplan for a proposed mega city that straddles the border of Mexico and the United States. Architect Fernando Romero offers a new model for the developing world of communities located in a "border situation." #LDB16
