Now in its eleventh year, the Design Museum's Beazley Designs of
the Year award and exhibition showcase the most innovative,
relevant and thought-provoking projects in contemporary design.
From the first iPhone to Zaha Hadid's final building, the
nominations for the award have spanned the fields of architecture,
digital, fashion, graphics, product and transport. Introduced by
Deyan Sudjic and guest curator Aric Chen of M+ in Hong Kong, this
illustrated book brings together all the nominated designs for
2018, along with the reasons for their selection by an
international group of design experts, practitioners and critics,
including Iwan Baan and Hans Ulrich Obrist. It is a snapshot of the
most exciting things happening in design today. At the beginning of
the second decade of its life, the essence of the concept remains
the same. A wide and international group of expert nominators have
been invited to put forward up to three projects each that for them
reflect significant new directions in six fields, from architecture
to transport. The results are put together by a guest curator to
form an exhibition at the Design Museum. A jury selects winners in
each category, as well as one overall design of the year. The
Design Museum has published an accompanying catalogue for the award
and exhibition over the past ten years, which was marked by the
publication of the ten-year anniversary book Designs of our Time:
10 Years of Designs of the Year.
