Genderless voice, Uber bikes and New York’s The Shed shortlisted for Beazley Designs of the Year
CNNCNN — The world’s first gender-neutral synthetic voice, New York’s new cultural center The Shed, and Uber’s colorful Jump electric city bicycles are among the nominees for the 2019 Beazley Designs of the Year, an established annual award and exhibition run by London’s Design Museum. The award is tied to an exhibition at London’s Design Museum, showcasing the nominees, and although the selections are not based on any single underlying concept, there are themes emerging across the various disciplines.

Last year, “Counter Investigations: Forensic Architecture,” an exhibition at London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts took home the main prize.
