Better Shelter installation on Exhibition Road

Visit Exhibition Road for a taster of this year's Beazley Designs of the Year. Preview one of the nominees, the Better Shelter, an innovative project that has created a safer, more dignified home away from home for millions of displaced persons across the world.

Design for social change

'This project sums up Beazley Designs of the Year and shows how the design industry can use their skills and knowledge to solve a real and pressing issue – that of temporary shelter for displaced people.' - Gemma Curtin, curator
