 <\/p>\n

It’s official: the building of the new\u00a0Design Museum<\/b>\u00a0has finally started. Only one day before the kick-off of London Design Week, on the 18th of September, the ground breaking ceremony has been held at the former Commonwealth Institute on Kensigton High Street \u2013 what will become the Design Museum’s new home. The building operations could not start, though, before a symbolic gesture aimed at conserving the memory of the past: some of the world’s best designers picked their favourite objects, or those whose design they felt to be most representative of their times, and buried them in a time capsule. The group included Zaha Hadid, Paul Smith, Norman Foster and Cecil Balmond, as well as Sir Terence Conran and John Pawson. The results of their choice were extremely eclectic, featuring, amongst the other things, an Iphone, a cylindric teapot, Maps of the Tube, an image of Battersea Power Station, a lightbulb, a bottle of burgundy and a Euro coin. Leaving its location close to Tower Bridge behind, the Design Museum will join the other institutions in the cultural district of South Kensigton in 2015, and who knows when the prodigious time capsule hiding under its foundations will be finally opened…<\/p>\n
