Archigram- Beyond Architecture
In my idea the author of this chapter attempted to show how the Archigram ( Archigram was a 1960s avant-garde architectural group with the hypothetical futuristic projects which formed in London)adapted design strategies to approach indeterminate systems and the dissolution of buildings.
It was extremely interesting type of integration of technology into the design. How they withdrew from a “decaying Bauhaus legacy” which dragged modernism into form and finally how they became an introduction into cybernetic “control and choice”, mobility, flexibility, multifunctionality and prefabricated component.
“Architects of the Future might not be concerned with enclosure at all, or at least not built up enclosures. We could all be floating around in weatherproof space suits, taking “shots” for our feeding are any other physical or mental stimulus that we might require. Somewhere thought there would still have to be a horizontal plane, demarked with neon lights if you like, but in some way suggestive of a place where we could work out our feeling of community”
Robin Middleton( who had known the nascent Archigram in its Euston days) reported for Architectural Design
For me their significant goal was to sweep away the restrictions by applying science fictions futuristic frameworks.
