"In the decade of the Beatles and the moon landing, cybernetics and megacities, ARCHIGRAM invented new artefacts and situations that threatened the discipline of architecture itself: Walking Cities, Plug-in Universities and 'Suits that are Homes. At once poetic and technological, utopian and grounded in social need, their projects embodied the avant-garde architecture of the 1960s.
Presented here is a compact history of the work that influenced a whole generation of architects. It includes their best-known schemes and draws together for the first time articles on a wide variety of contemporary subjects, allowing a new generation to discover their vision of a sophisticated humanity and a refined technology working in harmony to make a better world.” - from the back cover
