An estimated 90% of the worlds population is without access to what many of us takefor granted. Clean water, adequate shelter, affordable transportation. Design For the Other 90% at Minneapolis Walker Arts Center showcases 30 products from designers and social activists hoping to create low cost options to everyday products. Some are as complex as the one laptop for every child program, others are as simple aswater filters. Shown here is the Global Village Shelter from Ferrara Design made from corrugated cardboard.
The exhibition is on view, free, until September 1.
