Archigram

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

Archigram

London-based group of English experimental architects (1960–75). Central to their philosophy was the belief that architecture should be technological, flexible, and disposable.

The group included Peter Cook (1936– ), Dennis Crompton (1935– ), David Greene (1937– ), Ron Herron, Mike Webb (1937– ), and Christine Hawley. Cook's concept of ‘plug-in, clip-on’ architecture was exemplified in Instant City, an idea for an airship that descended from the sky and rejuvenated a sleeping town. Herron designed a mobile ‘walking city’, 3 km/2 mi long.
