The project studies artistic and material research because it shows how people from various cultures understand different things. The installation demonstrates design future possibilities through visual representation but its main function exists within the museum’s storytelling system which restricts its ability to show architectural design elements. The exhibition shows how architectural design concepts evolve because it presents the fundamental design concepts and cultural influences which shape design thinking. \nClosing Note\nThe exhibition shows how science fiction concepts have created today’s design practices by showing historical design objects together with modern designs which exist in fictional settings. \nExplore the Latest Architecture Exhibitions & Conferences \n\n\n\nArchUp offers daily updates on top global architectural exhibitions\, design conferences\, and professional art and design forums.
