About this deal
The City of London Police is responsible for policing the City’s business district, the ‘Square Mile’ in the historical centre of London. In addition, it holds national responsibility for Economic Crime and under this remit is host to Action Fraud (the national fraud and cybercrime reporting service), the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau, the Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department and the Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit. The City of London continues to be one of the safest urban areas in the country. In this video, Dezeen x Samsung Out of the Box Competition finalist Akhil Kumar discusses his Twist basket, which is made of from the box of Samsung's The Sero television. These boxes often end up as waste, as the size and weight of the cardboard boxes means they are difficult to recycle in an average home, which contributes to around 90 billion cardboard boxes being discarded after a single use every year in the US alone.
The brief also places a heavy focus on the interactive and digital capabilities of proposed solutions. Designs should include an exterior digital touch screen with which the public can report crimes or inform public services about an accident. |Daily updates on the latest design and architecture vacancies advertised on Dezeen Jobs. Plus occasional news. Dezeen Jobs WeeklyThe City of London has launched a competition to find a “modern, multifunctional” design solution to replace traditional Police Boxes. Entries will be judged on how original the idea is, how visually appealing the object is and how useful it would be in the home. In addition, consideration will be given to how practical the design is to build from cardboard. This project sets out a real ambition for changing the way that people engage with the City, it’s story and the police – and we’re delighted to have been chosen along with our project team to take this work further.
