Future City: Doha

10 December 2013

Clare Melhuish, UCL Urban Laboratory Research Associate, is speaking in a forum that investigates the intersections between geographical, social and cultural memories in the way that cities are reproduced for the future, focusing on rapid urban development in Doha

The forum is hosted in Doha by Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, in collaboration with the Liverpool Biennial as part of Qatar UK Year of Culture 2013. Clare will contribute to a panel on 'How do we imagine the future city?' with a presentation on the agency and affect of digital visualisations in the production of transformative urban developments. Other speakers in the panel include Philippe Rahm of Philippe Rahm architectes, and Prof Rami el Samahy, Asst Teaching Professor of Architecture, Carnegie Mellon University.
