June 29, 2012, 5:24 am -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- Over the years sport and technology have moved closer together as one has influenced the other. These days science is used to make athletes faster, stronger and more efficient. The Sport vs. Design exhibition at the Design Museum reveals to what extent science and technology influences sporting achievements.
One of the most recent examples was the Speedo LZR swimsuit. Boasting ultrasonically welded material to aid the oxygen flow to a swimmer's muscles this swimsuit has helped the world's best swimmers break all records.
The exhibition, running from 18 July to 18 November and costing £6-£10, utilises designers, photographers and artists to examine performance, safety and materials.
The Design Museum is located on Bankside near Tower Bridge . Over two floors, the museum houses all manner of contemporary designs in the fields of fashion, graphics and architecture and aims to trace the history and design developments of key design eras and works.
