Visualisations of the 21st Century City explores how we anticipate change within our towns and cities and how we see the practicalities of these changes manifesting. The exhibition identifies, proposes hypothesise to and creates visual representations of future pressures on the built environment.

Working with schools of architecture from University of Brighton, University of Bath and Oxford Brookes University- Visualisations in 2009 takes Conflict as its theme and seeks to provoke debate about how a range of future uncertainties; of wars, terrorism, immigration, gang culture, uneven access to health or education, social deprivation, flooding, hooliganism or disparities between rich and poor may force us further in to an Architecture of Conflict.

How can conflict be depicted? What are its characteristics? Can we read the existing landscape to reveal underlining tensions? How might we visualise such relationships and ties in the city? Can we devise strategies for an Architecture of Resolution?
