Archigram

Archigram was a British avant-garde architecture group formed in 1961 at the Architectural Association in London by Peter Cook, Warren Chalk, Ron Herron, Dennis Crompton, Michael Webb and David Greene. It existed largely as a magazine, a series of exhibitions and a stream of drawings and collages, and dissolved in 1974.

Its projects, among them Plug-in City, Walking City, Instant City, the Living Pod and the inflatable suites, proposed nomadic, technology-driven habitats and portable capsules in place of fixed buildings, and were rediscovered by later generations of architects; the group received the RIBA Gold Medal in 2002. The archive is published at archigram.net and held by M+ in Hong Kong.
