Architectural Association presents the UK launch of 'Archigram: The Magazine'

Wednesday, February 11, from 6:30–8 PM, London's Architectural Association School of Architecture presents the UK launch of Archigram: The Magazine with an audiovisual presentation by Dan Crompton, Dennis Crompton’s son, and contributions from Director of the Zaha Hadid Foundation, Aric Chen; facsimile co-editor, Thomas Evans; Programme Director of the World Architecture Festival, Paul Finch; professor and author, David Grahame Shane; and architect and Columbia GSAAP assistant professor, Amelyn Ng. Peter Cook and David Greene of Archigram will speak and sign copies.

This event is sold out. If you would like to participate in the event remotely please email publicprogramme@aaschool.ac.uk.

From its launch in 1961 to issue 9 ½ in 1974, Archigram magazine challenged and dazzled the international avant-garde across the worlds of architecture, design, and art. One of the rarest serial publications of the 1960s, copies are extremely hard to find today.

The production of this first-ever facsimile of Archigram has been a labour of love conducted over the past two years in a partnership between D.A.P., Designers & Books, and Archigram. The edition retains all the original surprises and idiosyncrasies of the original issues: flyers, pockets, posters, gatefolds, pop-ups, and even an electronic resistor. A fully illustrated reader’s guide features essays by Peter Cook, David Grahame Shane, and Reyner Banham; tributes from architectural luminaries including Tadao Ando, Beatriz Colomina, Mike Davies, Odile Decq, Norman Foster, and Bernard Tschumi; an index of key concepts, projects, and names; previously unseen archival images; and more.
