Ep1: How to Build a Time Machine
Wednesday 19th February
66 Portland Place W1
Bar opens at 6 pm, show 7 pm

What does it actually take to reimagine our world? …..a lot of technological and design genius.

Keynote speakers are Ken Pimentel from Epic Games (Unreal Engine, Fortnite) and Xavier de Kestelier, Head of Design Technology and Innovation at Hassell.

Ken Pimentel will show how real-time technology can create a time machine capable of delving into the past or leaping into the future, using Unreal Engine, the power behind Fortnite.

Xavier De Kestelier led the team which was shortlisted by NASA to design the world's first human home on Mars.

Fresh from his comedy tour Down Under, Nic Monisse will hold an intimate Q&A with the two visionaries; be ready to fire up your questions about robots, music playlists in space, feeling at home on Mars etc.

Plus: What Is Fortnite; Poetry; Music; The Special Architects Cocktail; and some laughs….

Before the main event, join us at the bar from 6 pm to enjoy a special cocktail inspired by history's greatest architects. This is a chance to meet like-minded people, exchange views, discuss opportunities, debate ideas, find clients and discover something truly new.
