ArchitectureWeek Description A critical, historical account of Britain's Archigram group which, in the 1960s, turned away from conventional architecture to propose cities that move and houses worn like clothes. In drawings inspired by pop art and psychedelia, architecture floated away, tethered by wires, gantries, tubes, and trucks. Sadler argues that Archigram's sense of fun takes its place beside the other cultural agitants of the 1960s, proposing attitudes and techniques that became standard for architects rethinking social space and building technology.
