Sustain Our Nation 2009 |
|
|
|
|
Sustain our Nation (SoN) was a national competition run by the Audi Design Foundation (Sept 2009 – Feb 2010) for young designers that sought to encourage innovation to address the issues of Ageing population, Health, Finance, Crime, Energy & Climate change, via the creation of social enterprises through design. The aim was to catalyse solutions that addressed these national issues at a local level, working with communities to deliver sustainable change. Gamman and Thorpe (from Bikeoff) were on the expert panel for crime and presented at masterclass on 11th and 12th June 2009 at the Marlybone Hotel, London. Gamman presented Design Against Crime Overview which featured how to get smart quick on bike theft and Thorpe presented Design Resource: Definitions, Approaches and Processes which discusses DACRC’s social design process, developed primarily through the Bikeoff project. Gamman and Thorpe also presented at the Sustain Our Nation Think Tank in March 2009 to brief tutors ahead of the launch of the national competition.

Safer Sustainable Cities Exhibition and Seminar, Wales |
|
|
|
|
The Safer Sustainable Cities event was held in the Grand Reading Room in the Welsh School of Architecture and Glass, Swansea (curated by Gamman and Thorpe, with help from freelance designer, Chris Thomas) The event was requested by colleagues from the Crime Prevention community in Wales as ambitious regeneration projects are planned in Swansea, and inspiration and knowledge transfer to make design against bike crime happen was thought to be needed linked to aims to increase cycle use as part of integrated public transport proposals. The event focused on the contribution of designing out crime to the creation of safer, sustainable cities and was attended by 50 delegates, from local authorities, police, and academic bodies from England and Wales. The conference received presentations drawing on Bikeoff research from Ekblom, Gamman, Thorpe, Sidebottom and Willcocks.
The event was met with a very positive response and was reported in THE Times Higher Education.
