AIANY Glimpses Creating a speculative identity and exhibition design

Background

Projects that visualize the future, translate bold ideas, work through an iterative design process, and collaborate with others are our ideal for Q Collective. This project ticked all the boxes and challenged us to use design to share the stories of two cities who are ready for the future.

Glimpses 2040: New York and Amsterdam was a concurrent exhibition in two locations and featured the work of ten architecture and urban planning studios who envisioned what life might be like in 2040. American and Dutch studios were paired, and visualized one of the following 5 activities as they related to the future of cities located by large bodies of water: breathing, dwelling, eating, making and moving. Q Collective was asked to create the Glimpses exhibition identity and signage, design an exhibition framework for the varied work of ten architecture studios, and design the gallery guide and family guide.
