The Future of Design – In Tweets

 

Last night The Event Space played host to The Future of Design, an open discussion with 6 designers. Alongside our very own Ben Terrett, Mark Holt, Stuart Watson (VentureThree), Marina Waller (Wolff Olins), Carl Burgess (More Soon) and Mills (ustwo™) all took to the stage. 

Click on the image below to see how the event played out in tweets! It was a fantastic night that raised as many questions as answers. Thanks to all who, came, saw, spoke and tweeted.

The Pool

Our friends at Nike have been up to some brilliant tricks, in Dagenham.

Having found a 1970s swimming pool destined for demolition, they set to work. The pool was drained, ramps were added  and a unique BMX venue was created that will be open for 30 days this summer.

Nike opened The Pool with a competition showcasing some of their world class BMX talent, and it is now open for use. You can even borrow a BMX and give it a go. Boris bikes these ain't. 

Here is a little film encapsulating the whole metamorphosis:
