| Future Cities 6 Exhibition |
Future Cities 6 will be
the sixth AVATAR (Advanced Virtual And Technological Architectural Research)
conference hosted by the Department of Architecture and Landscape held at the
University of Greenwich. This
year the theme of the conference will centre on The Marvelous and asks what creative opportunities architectural
design in the twenty-first Century offer and how it is possible to work with
such tensions. It also raises questions about how we may deal with the nature
of ecology, urban environments and an increasing global society – which are all
composed of many different, often contradictory bodies.
Accompanying the conference is an
exhibition in the Stockwell Street Project Space featuring works by five of the
participants. Keynote speaker Michael Hansmeyer is exhibiting prints of his
dazzling 3D ‘Digital Grotesques’ that are currently part of the ‘Printing the
World’ exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Hansmeyer is also exhibiting
a video specially commissioned for the Pompidou show. ‘You and Pea’ are a young
London based architectural design practice of Sandra Youkhana and Luke Casper
Pearson who are showing their highly exuberant Tokyo IRTBBC project. Dr Shaun
Murray is showing some of the extraordinary drawings that were recently part of
an exhibition at the Lightroom Gallery at Carleton University in Ottawa Canada.
Professor Neil Spiller will be exhibiting more staggering works from the ‘Communicating
Vessels’ project and Nic Clear will be showing a series of new works,
‘Dreamspaces’, studies for his Chthonopolis Project that will shortly be
featured at the ‘The Factory’ gallery London..
