Archigram: The Book

內容簡介

內容簡介 Comprehensive documentation of Archigram's iconic worksContributions from all Archigram members, and essays by critics writing then and nowNow in a reduced-format editionThrough­out the 1960s and ear­ly 1970s, Archi­gram envi­sioned the future of archi­tec­ture in ways that enthralled a gen­er­a­tion. In an era defined by the space race, they devel­oped a high-tech, light­weight, infra­struc­tur­al approach that stretched far beyond known tech­nolo­gies or con­tem­po­rary real­i­ties. They devised autonomous dwellings and focused on sur­vival tech­nol­o­gy; they exper­i­ment­ed with megas­truc­tures and mod­u­lar con­struc­tion sys­tems; they explored mobil­i­ty through the envi­ron­ment and the use of portable liv­ing cap­sules: all through the medi­um of an incred­i­ble series of draw­ings and mod­els. This book, now in a revised edi­tion, cat­a­logues Archigram’s entire oeu­vre over four­teen years, includ­ing Archi­gram mag­a­zine. Along with com­men­taries by the archi­tects, there are con­tri­bu­tions from crit­ics Reyn­er Ban­ham, Mar­tin Paw­ley, Michael Sorkin and oth­ers, writ­ing then and now. Designed and edit­ed by Archi­gram mem­ber Den­nis Cromp­ton, Archi­gram: The Book is a land­mark in archi­tec­tur­al publishing.War­ren Chalk (1927−88), Peter Cook, Den­nis Cromp­ton, Ron Her­ron (1930−94), David Greene and Michael Webb are the founder mem­bers of Archi­gram. Their the­o­ret­i­cal work began in the 1960s as a cry against ‘the crap then going up in Lon­don’. Although they nev­er built a build­ing togeth­er, their influ­ence over a gen­er­a­tion of archi­tects con­tin­ues to be felt today. The group was award­ed the RIBA Roy­al Gold Medal in 2002.

各界推薦 ‘Archi­gram is easy to love: Its com­bi­na­tion of com­ic book graph­ics, tongue-in-cheek humor, and high-tech futur­ism is a potent mix. Now the group’s entire out­put has been com­pressed into a mighty 300-page tome that is, above all else, a visu­al feast.’– Metrop­o­lis Mag­a­zine Hol­i­day Gift Guide 2018‘Archigram’s ghost, a very colour­ful ghost, is every­where.’– Jonathan Meades, Lon­don Review of Books, 21 May 2020‘Archi­gram was to archi­tec­ture what the Bea­t­les were to rock and roll. No less.’– Michael Sorkin

作者介紹

作者介紹 Warren Chalk, Peter Cook, Dennis Crompton, Ron Herron, David Greene and Michael Webb are the founder members of Archigram. Their theoretical work began in the 1960s as a cry against ‘the crap then going up in London’. Although they never built a building together, their influence over a generation of architects continues to be felt today. The group was awarded the RIBA Gold Medal in 2002. Reyner Banham was one of the leading architectural commentators in the decades when Archigram was active, and the author of Megastucture (1976), which featured their work. Martin Pawley documented the architectural scene in London from the 1970s onwards from the perspective of a restless insider. His writing about Archigram is incisive and colourful. Michael Sorkin was an architect and urbanist whose practice spanned design, planning, criticism, and teaching. His books include Exquisite Corpse: Writing on Buildings (1991).
