Sideways City ‐ Anine Kirsten, Max Basler, Ricardo Lino – Nimuno Loops by Chrome Cherry Design Studio – DESIGNERS: ANINE KIRSTEN, MAX BASLER AND JACO KRUGER

Nimuno Loops by Chrome Cherry Design Studio:

This was a crowdfunding idea that has become viral in its first week. The idea is simple: a flexible lego tape. This allows you to create on almost anything and the best part of all: it is made to be reusable. The exhibition has a corner just dedicated to this project where you can experiment and play this cleaver idea.

Autonomous Rail Rapid Transit (ART) by CRRC Zhuzhou Institute

ART is an intelligent rail system which aims at creating new, self-driving, electric tram that’s guided not by tracks, but a double-dashed line painted on the street. It sounds like the future is here!
