China Design Now opened Victoria and Albert Museum in London in March 2008. The exhibition sought to draw attention to the creative energy in contemporary China, how Chinese have come to fuse their pre-socialist past and traditions with global ideals in design and creations.
It unfolds in 3 cities, each representing a different spectrum of design: ShenZhen is the frontier city for graphic design, Shanghai the dream city for fashion and lifestyle and Beijing the future city for architecture and urban planning. The last leg of the exhibition, Beijing the future city, unveils the monumental architecture for the 2008 Olympics in the changing landscapes in the capital of China.
The online collection houses many images with relation to the exhibition and they are worth a look or two. Some are rather inspiring.
