Description:Archigram has been considered modernism's last avant-garde group of universal impact. A group of six architects--David Greene, Michael Webb, Peter Cook, Dennis Crompton, Ron Herron, and Warren Chalk--Archigram envisioned a spirited amalgam of technology and organic forms. Revolutionary, shocking--and spectacularly drawn--projects included plug-in cities, blowout villages, wearable clothes/dwellings (suitaloons and cushicles), soft shelters, idea circuses, seaside bubbles, robots, capsules and pods, and most striking, moving cities. The first part of this comprehensive volume consists of essays locating Archigram in the context and culture of the 1960s: the avant-garde, modern movement, British Independent Group, pop art, Superstudio, and more. The second part of the publication studies the impact and structure of Archigram and as well as its main influences and the concept of transmitting through teaching. Finally, a complex and complete register presents the work of Archigram from the early innocent magazine to the later thoughtful studies of urbanism and landscape.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
