Futuropolis

I found an interesting article online from England's The Guardian newspaper here:

about the Future City Architectural exhibit currently at the Barbican through September 17th. The author examines the effect of cinematic design on real world architecture, and mentions Mike Trim by name, as well as Derek Meddings. Of course, Mike designed most of the buildings beginning with Thunderbirds through The Secret Service, and many of his original drawings are in the new book.
More information on the Future City exhibit is here:

Unfortunately, I won't be in the U.K. until October and will miss it.
