Visitors to the capital will be able to indulge their creative
talents at this year's London Design Festival (LDF), which runs from
September 18th to 26th.
Taking place at selected venues across the capital, the festival is now in its
eighth year and will include more than 200 events spread over the nine days.
People using hotels in London can
head to Trafalgar Square to see Outrace - a giant mechanical octopus designed to
form the centrepiece of the 2010 LDF.
Created by Clemens Weisshaar and Reed Kram, the installation will enable members of
the public to take control of eight industrial robot arms borrowed from the
production line of carmaker Audi.
Light beams will be attached to these mechanical limbs, allowing users to trace
images and messages in the sky.
Visitors can reserve a slot for their interaction with Outrace using a specially
commissioned website.
Most of the events at the LDF are free to enter, although booking will be required
in many cases. Other anticipated highlights include The Tramshed exhibition in east
London and Size + Matter, a penny-shaped magnetic sculpture outside the Southbank
Centre.
With an estimated 300,000 people visiting the LDF last year, this year's event is
expected to be even more popular.
For more information on this event, visit the London Design Festival website.
Hotels-London.co.uk features a wide variety of accommodation in London, including
