In this episode, we take a look at the latest exhibition at London’s Royal Institute of British Architects, an exploration of 500 years of aesthetics in architecture. Using virtual reality technology, it takes visitors on a journey through time: from the Renaissance, where the influence of Classical architecture spread through printed volumes, through to the era of postmodernism where the channel-surfing of television provided a new and disjointed source of stylistic influence. With Shumi Bose, Senior Lecturer and Coordinator of Contextual Studies in Architecture at Central Saint Martins and Fredrik Hellberg, one half of design duo Space Popular.
