'Beyond' Book Launch and Roundtable
Short Stories on the Post-Contemporary
Presentation 'Urban Fictions' by Colin Fournier (The Bartlett) + discussion panel
Organised by Emanuel de Sousa (AA), Ines Dantas (Studio3.\ WUDA)
and AA Bookshop
Wednesday, 23 September, 6.30, AA Dining Room

'Beyond' is a new book series dedicated to new, experimental forms of architectural and urban writing. A bookazine in which an extended network of young and upcoming European architectural writers will be given the freedom to survey the outline of themes and things to come.
In an age when conceptual thought is undoubtedly one of the rules of attraction, it is expected that writing may provide again an arena where images are returned to their original frame: the speculative imagination. By seeking expressions that may escape the academic circle and the simple service of the prevailing photographic image, 'Beyond' will propose stories and essays that come near to fiction’s ability to prompt a deeper, appealing reflection on themes that concern us all.
The invited guests are Colin Fournier (The Bartlett), Pedro Gadanho ('Beyond' editor, shrapnelcontemporary.wordpress.com), Liam Young (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com) and Sam Jacob (fat.co.uk).
