Congratulations to the team at Pivot Dublin for being one of just 3 cities worldwide who have been shortlisted for the prestigious title of World Design Capital 2014.
Today the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (ICSID) announced that Dublin, along with Cape Town and Bilbao have been shortlisted from 56 applicant cities from around the globe.
The Dublin bid, ‘Pivot Dublin, Turn Design Inside Out’ is a collaboration between the four Dublin local authorities, focusing on themes of ‘Connecting Cities’; ‘Making Cities Flow’; ‘Making Cities Lighter’ and ‘Making Cities Smile’.
The Pivot Dublin team are now developing and implementing these proposals as ‘seed projects’ for the run-up to the announcement in October of the winning city.
This is an unprecedented opportunity for Dublin and the Multidisciplinary Design Community we have in this city and not only for the promotion of Irish design at a global level, but also for promotion of the creative capabilities of the nation. Ireland is unique in our global influence – and we now need to exploit our position and become World Design Capital 2014.
