Technology will save us

The London Tube Map Radio is a project i visited in Design Museum, it was really gabbed my attention in the exhibition. Because it was remained me of my childhood, when i was a little child, i observed again and again of the backside of my TV set in my house. I curious about why the moving imagines can be see in the front and what is inside of the TV-set. 

This year, the Designers in Residence project theme is Thrift and in response to this brief I have made projects which re-design the communication system of electronics.

Japanese designer Yuri Suzuki has made a radio from an electronic circuit board that’s arranged to look like the London tube map. The map is inspired by a spoof diagram created by the original designer of the London Tube map, Harry Beck, which shows the lines and stations as an annotated electrical circuit. Iconic landmarks on Suzuki’s map are represented by components relating to their functions, including a speaker where Speaker’s Corner sits and a battery representing Battersea Power Station.
