There’s no doubt that growing numbers of people long to live in the city. All over the world, people are flocking to cities, depopulating rural areas.
What does the city have to offer and how do we create a world that’s safe, and provides enough work and ‘fuel’? A world that helps us to realize our dreams?
The Twist is one of the exhibited projects. You can download the full set of projects below.

Now that the diesel engine has been written off for good as an environmentally friendly power source, the focus has significantly shifted to electric and ‘solar-powered’ transport.
Sun and electricity are like air and fire – the ideal blend will provide us with limitless energy and the electric car will be merely a link in the sustainable energy chain. And it’s not only energy, but our modes of transport and the comfort we require of them, which are becoming increasingly important. Despite digitization, earth’s progressively wealthier population will be more mobile than ever.

Designers are dedicated to addressing a broad spectrum of health-related issues. When it comes to designing products and services tailored to meet users’ needs, health is by far the most demanding field for design.
This topic looks at getting better, staying healthy, and how to get even more out of your body.

In the near future, clothing won’t just protect us, keep us warm and express our identity; what we wear will interact with us and the environment.
What we wear will become more personal, more a form of support and challenge in our everyday lives. Imperfections will be healed or corrected almost seamlessly thanks to smart products that are a direct extension of the body.

Circular Economy | Products are conceived, designed, realized, used and disposed of, destroyed. This simple yet deadly line representing a product’s life cycle inevitably results in the total depletion of the earth’s resources. The Circular Economy theme deals with ways of designing products so we can transform their lifespan from a straight line to a circle, and functionally re-use the greatest amount of material with the least amount of energy. Healthy and profitable.
Design Conversations | Designers don’t simply think about how they create products, services and systems, they also think about the process. Discover how designers think, and learn about this unusual kind of design that is meant to encourage reflecting on the design process, and inspire both designers and users.
Home | There are few places where design matters more than in the home. The home has become a hub of almost all our activities. Not just eating, sleeping, and enjoying free time – together or alone – more than ever, home is where we seek inspiration, and where we work. ‘Living’ and ‘home’ have become multi-purpose terms to which the designers contribute or respond.
Material Innovations | No matter how virtual life becomes, we cannot survive without the material world. We need constructions for housing, working, finding shelter, and for our physical mobility. The development of 3D printing is opening up unprecedented new possibilities – the sky’s the limit. And that’s not all. Ice is another incredibly versatile material we use to create.
