Thrilling Wonder Stories

This symposium draws together experts from gaming, film, comics, literature and art to discuss alternative models of the future.


In this symposium we will hear stories from such foreign fields as gaming, film, comics, animation, literature and art. These speculative practitioners present alternative models as test sites for the deployment of the wondrous possibilities or dark cautionary tales of our own architectural imaginings. And so we wander off the map to embark on a future safari into the brave new worlds that may evolve from our own.

Speakers include Geoff Manaugh (BLDGBLOG); Vicktor Antonov (Art Director for game ‘Half Life 2’); Francois Roche and Stephanie Lavaux (R&Sie architects Paris); Warren Ellis (writer for Marvel and DC comics); Ian Macleod (Science Fiction Novelist. Winner of 2009 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Science Fiction); Peter Cook/Dennis Crompton (Archigram); Squint Opera (film and media production studio); Jim Rossignol (gaming author and journalist); Nic Clear (Editor of ‘Architectures of the Near Future: Architectural Design’)
