Fantasy Architecture

From Adam to Archigram, Boullée to Buckminster Fuller, Mendelsohn to MVRDV; designed but never realised architecture from the last 500 years to the next 30 makes up the centre of an exhibition promoted by the Hayward Gallery with the Royal Institute of British Architects. It draws on the archives of the RIBA and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Drawings, paintings, collages and models are accompanied by films, videos and documentaries that demonstrate how the face of the contemporary city could radically change. E.S.
