Panel Discussion

'Designing in Hybrid Realms' panel discussion 

Insights into pairing bespoke co-design tools with a parametric design approach

From city masterplans and interior spaces to pavilions and furniture pieces, the foundation of ZHA projects is the intention to provide a more variable, accessible and communal experience for all. In the 'Beyond Scale: Designing in Hybrid Realms' panel discussion, ZHA architects and researchers will share insights into pairing bespoke co-design tools with a parametric design approach to creating in hybrid realms, with examples from 'Re:Imagine London' (a video game collaboration with Epic Games) and 'Metrotopia' (a virtual communication hub for the global design community). Booking required.

Panellists:
Manijeh Verghese, CEO at Open City + Moderator
Henry Louth, Senior Associate, ZHA CODE
Sebastian Andia, Senior Associate, ZHA
Gerhild Ayas, Associate Director, ZHA
James Delaney, Managing Director at BlockWorks and Chairman of The Block by Block Foundation

Re:Imagine London

Re:Imagine London is a creative experience played in Fortnite, one of the world’s most popular video games. Using Epic Games’ Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), Re:Imagine London has been jointly developed by ZHA and Epic Games to research the use of UEFN for practical applications in architecture and to pool creator talent across industries including architecture, landscape, and interiors.
