Beazley Designs of the Year

Now in its ninth year, Beazley Designs of the Year celebrates design that promotes or delivers change, enables access, extends design practice or captures the spirit of the year. Someday the other museums will be showing this stuff.

Harbin Opera House

Harbin Opera House is an extension of the Songhua River—a series of undulating lines that integrate the sinuous landscape into a formal building mass.

★ (pronounced Blackstar)

The album cover uses the Unicode Blackstar symbol creating a simplicity to the design allowing the music to be the focus and the creation of an identity that is easy to identify and share.

Tate Modern Switch House

This new development connects Southwark with the Thames and provides much improved open, public space around the building.

Adidas x Parley running shoe

Adidas x Parley is the world’s first running shoe created using illegal deep-sea gillnets and recycled ocean plastics.
