| Synopsis: |
The towns and cities that we inhabit are the residue of a much larger world that was never built - of visions of the future that remain on paper due to lack of funds, political changes or simple impracticalities because they were technically ahead of their time. How might the world look today had the realities of history been different? And how close might the architecture of the future bring us to a world already familiar from science fiction films and the fantastic virtual environments of computer games? This fully illustrated book, which accompanies a major National Touring Exhibition from the Hayward Gallery, proposes answers to these questions. It includes reproductions of architectural drawings, models, engravings, photographs and computer generated imagery dating from the late medieval period to the present, primarily works from the rich collections of the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Victoria and Albert Museum as well as material from contemporary architectural practices. Philip Armstrong Tilden, Design for a Tower for Selfridges Department store, Oxford Street, London, 1918, pen on paper, 103cm X 68cm, RIBA Library Drawings Collection |
