Designing the Future: 60 Years of Star Trek Visual Evolution
Star Trek’s vision of the future has been shaped as much by its design as its storytelling. From the clean optimism of the original Enterprise to the layered realism of modern Trek, this panel explores how artists and designers have defined the look and meaning of the future across six decades. Using rare materials from the Roddenberry Archive, we examine how design choices reflect changing ideas about technology and humanity.
