Q Drum

A last minute plug for an exhibit at the Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum. Design for the Other 90% is up until September 23, 2007. The exhibit displays design endeavors aimed at creating cost-effective ways to increase access to food and water, energy, education, healthcare, revenue-generating activities, and affordable transportation for under-served populations around the globe. One of my favorites is the Q Drum picture above, which eases the burden of hauling water over long distances.

You can also catch an exhibit of the lighting design of Ingo Maurer - very cool stuff!
