Fifty years after their last publication, the revolutionary architectural group Archigram returns with Archigram 10, a visionary new edition set to challenge and inspire contemporary architecture. Published by Circa Press and edited by founding member Sir Peter Cook, the book features contributions from original members Dennis Crompton, David Greene, and Michael Webb, alongside a diverse array of global architects and critics who embody the Archigram ethos of experimentation and innovation.
The publication reflects on the current state of architecture and explores its potential trajectories. Archigram’s legacy of blending Pop Art’s vibrant energy with futuristic and pro-consumerist ideas resurfaces, inspiring readers to push the boundaries of traditional practice. The book includes thought-provoking projects, such as Peter Cook’s new explorations in adaptable architecture and Odile Decq’s futuristic concepts influenced by natural forms.
Contributors span generations and geographies, with established names like Thom Mayne and Hitoshi Abe sitting alongside emerging voices. Together, they offer fresh perspectives on using technology and nature as driving forces in architectural design.
With its vibrant content and daring vision, Archigram 10 is more than a publication; it’s a call to reimagine architecture for a dynamic, ever-evolving world.
