We’re excited to have the legendary visual futurist Syd Mead on campus tomorrow as part of the Design Studio Press Spring Lecture Series.
He’ll be discussing informed imagination and his new book, Sentury II. A book signing will follow the lecture.
Mead, a 1959 Transportation Design alumnus, is best known for his work on Tron, Bladerunner and Aliens, as well as for the creation of the V’Ger for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. He’s a favorite of ours; we’ve interviewed him here before about Tron and discussed transportation design with him in Outer Circle.
The event is free and open to the public. However, space is limited, so RSVP at facebook.com/designstudiopress.
