Islote perdido entre el arte pop, el comic y la ciencia ficción de los años 50, Archigram fue una corriente que no pasó desapercibida en la historia de la Arquitectura e influyó en edificios como el Pompidou de Paris. Y es que la visión futurista que tenían estos arquitectos a la hora de imaginar ciudades…
Archigram was a visionary architecture and design collaborative consisting of Warren Chalk, Peter Cook, Dennis Crompton, David Greene, Ron Herron, and Michael Webb. Next to ideas for gadgets like the Electronic Tomato, Archigram foresaw contemporary urban developments such as Capsule Homes, Extreme Suburbs, the Plug-In University or Computer City and reconfigurable megastractures. Partly outrageously creative, partly acutely critical, Archigram had the ideas for drive-in everything and KFC-supplied army bases in the middle of foreign deserts. All of this actually exists today, albeit in much less interesting designs than the ones proposed by Archigram.

I am relocating and it is not to a neighbouring community or across to the other side of town but across the country. I am now knee deep in the daunting process of purging and packing. As well, I am trying to secure a new apartment and so far I haven't found the ideal space. To…

Peter Cook, Dennis Compton, Colin Fournier, David Greene with Ken Allison. Engineered by Frank Whitby. It seems that Ron Herron worked on the competition albeit whilst he was in America and consequently on the unbuilt scheme. This was a limited competition for an entertainment building on the reclaimed foreshore of Monte Carlo. Archigram reached the final stage and came very close to building in the sun. The Brief required a multi-purpose space to cater for a large banquet, variety shows, a circus, Ice rink and cultural activities were also eagerly sought. Architects noticed the lack of a public park and this beach side proposal could extend its services but remained complimentary in atmosphere and experience. David Greene’s Rockplug/Logplug provided a clue: a grassy bank with trees (in the ‘English Tradition’ etc.), with service outlets at 6 metre intervals.…just a neat hole in the ground like a golf-hole … and hot features and events? They are all inside. The aim was to provide a large enough space for banquet, elephants or go-karts. At the same time suitable of adapting itself from chamber music to ice hockey.

RNDRD is a partial index of architectural drawings and models scanned from design publications throughout the 20th century.
CORPORATE URBANISM: TIME FRAMING OF CYBERNETIC CITY_ NEO-SUWON-SAMSUNG by Rico Kwok
On the swinging streets of 60s London, when the world was colored in a kaleidoscope of psychedelic colors and dreams of the first green technologies, Warren Chalk, Peter Cooke, Dennis Crompton, David Greene, Ron Herron, Michael Webb and countless collaborators formed the group Archigram. Part architectural visionaries, part cultural commentators, and part machine, the group would…

M+ announced ‘Archigram Cities’, a series of online and offline events in November 2020 organised in collaboration with the Department of Architecture at the University of Hong Kong and Power Station of Art in Shanghai. In 2019, the Archigram archive entered the collections of M+. Through its dense layering of infrastructure, media, and commerce, Hong Kong can be read as an ‘Archigram city’, and the archive’s presence there offers the potential to trace new, situated lines of inquiry in architecture and visual culture. With new readings of Archigram’s practice and new contributions to the discourse of architecture through the archive, M+ addresses the historical importance of the group’s work and also considers its relevance for the immediate present and for potential futures.
