Vote Now: Hong Kong Protesters' "Brick Arches" Roadblocks Nominated for Beazley Designs of the Year

The Design Museum in London is hosting the Beazley Designs of the Year. In the category "Transport", the ankle-high roadblock "Brick Arches" designed by Hong Kong protesters are shortlisted to the top 3 finalists.

The museum wrote the following description for the Brick Arches:

"Made from ordinary bricks, these small but powerful structures were used by Hong Kong protestors from the pro-democracy movement as roadblocks to slow down police vehicles...

Easier to make and more difficult to clear than ordinary roadblocks, they became widespread when the protests escalated in November 2019.

Designed by Hong Kong protestors."

Netizens are welcome to cast their vote on their favourite design via the museum's website:

#BrickArches Designed by Hong Kong Protestors Win People's Choice in #BeasleyDesignoftheYear

Made from ordinary bricks and designed by Hong Kong protestors, the Brick Arches were nominated in the "transport" category in the Beasley Design of the Year.

Small but powerful structures, the Brick Arches were used by Hong Kong protestors from the pro-democracy movement as roadblocks to slow down police vehicles. Much more difficult to clear than ordinary roadblocks, these locally called ‘mini-Stonehenges’ or ‘brick battlegrounds’ became widespread in the pro-democracy protests in November 2019.
