The Design Museum has announced its first programme of exhibitions under the new directorship of Deyan Sudjic.
Highlights for the year include Zaha Hadid – Architecture and Design, the
first full scale show of Hadid’s work in the UK and the largest project undertaken
by the Design Museum.
Hadid has designed the new Architecture Foundation building to be constructed in Southwark Street.
“We are working on a programme that looks at the whole range of what design
can be – monograph shows on major figures like Sottsass and Hadid, as well as
exhibitions that offer a spring board for young talentâ€Â, says Deyan Sudjic, “We
want to bring together fashion, graphics, product design, and architecture, and
show that they have a place at the heart of contemporary culture.â€Â
