(Socially Responsive) Designs Against Crime (September 2007) Tent London design show, Truman Brewery, London.
Curators: Gamman, L. and Thorpe, A.

Following on from the success of the ECCA exhibition, Design Against Crime product exemplars, including those of the Bikeoff project, were curated within an exhibition designed to communicate the socially responsive design agenda (exemplified by DACRC) to a design focussed audience that paid to attend the week long ‘Tent’ design event at the Truman brewery. Feedback from the design community was built into the exhibition, where strong support for the Bikeoff project was indicated by the number of cards and positive comments left for Bikeoff.org to respond to. A leaflet announcing the formation of the Design Technology Alliance, organised by the Home Office, was created for this event to introduce The Alliance to a design audience. This communication featured the Bikeoff butterfly stand as the illustration of how best to design out crime – in a way that doesn’t look criminal!
