Week 01: Reading - ArchiGram

About unknown, unestablished or undefined visionary futures incorporating unconventional architecture or architecture entities. Challenges the existing and known providing alternate possibilities for social space and building technologies, redefining the purpose of architecture. Archigram’s document inspires one to remove conventional thinking about traditional architectural physical restraints such as walls and the subsequent resultant spaces and places.  Instead it looks at visions of Architectural entities/equipment designed for a heightened lifestyle experience accepting any cultural change that may occur.  Examples of propositions and scenarios include cities that move and houses worn like suits of clothes.

Disbanding and freeing one’s self from the constraints of conventional principals of architectural entities and engaging in futuristic visions allows one to envisage and dream of idealistic future scenarios.
