SNAPCHAT APP ADAPT
Landmarker Project
To mark its fifth year in Kensington, the museum partnered with Snapchat to create Adapt, an augmented reality experience that reimagines how our iconic building could adapt to extreme weather conditions.
Adapt: ARchitecture and Climate Change
Architect Mariam Issoufou Kamara has brought the realities of extreme weather to life, by reimagining how the Design Museum building would adapt and respond to these challenges in augmented reality.
This inaugural Landmarker project, in partnership with Snap, marks the museum’s fifth birthday in its current home in Kensington and reflects our mission to make the impact of design visible and demonstrate its role in addressing contemporary issues.

Visitors can experience the creation outside the museum by using the Snapchat app on their mobile phones.
