For example, Italian engineers have made a valve design that can be printed on a 3D printer publicly available.
Mansfield says that while preparing for the exhibition, it became clear that some solutions were not reaching all groups of the population. He says that initially healthcare had a “Western vision” but now there is a “wide range of options”.
The StoDistante project by Italian studio Caret Studio is a russia number data marking in a square in the city of Vicchio, Italy, aimed at ensuring that residents maintain social distancing.
The process best showcases the diversity of face masks, from options for women wearing hijabs to Sikhs wearing turbans. The exhibition also featured a transparent mask for the deaf and hard of hearing, as well as an origami-style solution that fits different face shapes.
In addition to physical health care, Design and Healing features installations that address mental and emotional upheavals, such as the outbreak of Sinophobia (hatred of China and its culture) and the 2020 police killing of African-American woman Breonna Taylor. In addition, multimedia artist Samuel Stubblefield, commissioned by the curators, composed a soothing melody that played throughout the exhibition.
“Often when faced with a crisis, we operate in survival mode,” says Mansfield. “But, among other things, with this exhibition we want to show the idea that creativity and beauty are important even in unstable times.”
He argues that good design can bring a sense of comfort and resilience to those under high stress.
Mansfield would like to hold another pandemic-themed exhibition to highlight solutions designed for communities, such as family health centers and centers for rural residents.
“We would show the fact that the pandemic affects us both on a personal and systemic scale,” he believes.
