Looking at Design

Looking at Design

How things we m​ake change our lives – for better or worse.

Displays:

  • Does it hold water? – what makes a good coffee pot or container for pouring liquids
  • Strutting Your Stuff – 18th-century dresses required a particular posture and a graceful style of dance
  • Design is for Us – what is 'good' and 'bad' design and what inspires it?
  • Enginuity – The Anderson Special car combines good engineering with enginuity and innovation
  • Swift, Safe, Sure – the George Bennie Railplane – this rapid passenger transport design was innovative, but a commercial failure.
