Tomorrow (23 January), the Lethaby Gallery exhibition Big Data: Designing with the Materials of Life opens to the public. To tie in with this, Anna Buruma from our Museum and Study Collection has curated a window display on biology and design. The window, which can be seen by the eastern entrance of Central Saint Martins, features textiles, ceramics, jewellery and other objects. It shows how teachers and students have explored natural forms for aesthetic or functional purposes. Anna Buruma, who curated the display says: “Some pieces are purely aesthetic – there is a lot of floral patterning in design, so we’re using that. But there is also a knitted piece that takes its pattern from the ebola virus, and pots that take inspiration from psoriasis and cancer.” Find out more: blogs.arts.ac.uk/csm/2014/01/22/window-dressing-look-how-biology-influences-design/
