Together they envisioned the future of architecture in ways that enthralled a generation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn an era defined by the space race, they developed a ‘high-tech’, lightweight, infra-structural 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. Archigram’s influence has been profound and enduring. They gave the high-tech movement its impetus; they inspired architects such as Renzo Piano and Norman Foster; and they laid the ground for the design of buildings such as the Pompidou Centre.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdited and designed by Archigram member Dennis Crompton, this book catalogues Archigram’s activities over fourteen years, together with commentaries by the architects and critics writing then and now.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Park Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47110499860738,"sku":"BK-PAR-ATB-001-H","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/files\/IMG_1365_1.jpg?v=1775749574","url":"https:\/\/www.booksaboutart.co.uk\/products\/archigram-the-book","provider":"Books About Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
