Archigram.
English architectural periodical, group and stylistic tendency of the 1960s. The periodical began as a student ‘alternative’ information sheet (Architecture+gram) founded in 1960 by PETER COOK, while he was working (1960–62) in the office of James Cubitt and Partners, with the aim of ensuring that student projects would be published. Most of the material illustrated was avant-garde with a strong bias towards what would be called HIGH TECH. Emboldened by the invitation to stage an exhibition, Living City, at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), London, in 1963, Cook and his associates became more ambitious and in 1964 they produced their fourth issue under the title ‘Amazing Zoom Archigram 4’.
