The Ideal City 2040 is an interactive installation based on Space10’s publication exploring how to improve everyday life in our cities. The book evolved into an exhibition for the Barbican Centre, featured in the ‘Our Time on Earth’ exhibit in 2022. Drawing from real-life examples within the book, the installation extracts insights to craft new, speculative environments. Visitors can engage with these immersive scenarios through VR headsets, delving into potential urban landscapes guided by the installation’s narratives.
