dezeen Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Dezeen Wire: the director of London’s Design Museum Deyan Sudjic claims the museum’s new home at the former Commonwealth Institute will offer a platform for future designers and that Britain can regain its reputation as creative power, “provided we go on investing in design” – The Guardian Sudjic describes the Design Museum’s original incarnation at the Victoria & Albert museum as “a little like an upmarket squatter in the V&A basement,” but suggests that “contemporary design is now firmly on the cultural agenda.” He claims that Britain must support design education in order to stay ahead of emerging economies, adding that “design is a way to create or safeguard jobs.” James Dyson also recently wrote an article on the importance of design to the British economy and we previously reported on the Design Museum’s current building being up for sale. </img> </img> </img> </img> </img> </img> </img> View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
