London Called, They want Design Back

London Called, They want Design Back

I have to say it’s great to be in London. This city is hopping! It’s a interesting contrast to the laid-back Vancouver vibe I’m trying to get accustomed to. Maybe it’s the jetlag talking, I’m sure it will wear thin - what, with the choking pollution, staggering traffic and its very own numbing brand of Brit rat race.

Based on this year’s theme: “From Caveman to Spaceman: Throughout History”, we decided to build a honeybee because of it’s importance to man and role in food chain. Integral to the world’s food production through pollination, honeybees have made their way into the news due to their recent decline in population. With this in mind we concluded that the honeybee best represented the event’s theme while communicating the message of hunger as a global problem.

Last year we were fortunate to be asked by Vancouver-based Henriquez Partners Architects to recreate their online presence.
