Archigram

'Hotel'.

I first came across Archigram in the book 'Summer of Love: Art of the Psychedelic Era' that accompanied the 2005 exhibition of the same name, at Tate Liverpool.
A group of young architects who met in the early 1960s, they started the publication Archigram (architectural telegram) where they recorded schemes inspired by their discussions the architectural scene of the time. After their second publication, they started work at a Euston office with another set of architects, which culminated in an exhibition in 1963, 'Living City', at the ICA.
In the chapter that discusses the work of Archigram in 'Summer of Love', Barry Curtis describes how 'an advanced technological society can look like anything', such a point can be seen in Archigram's schemes.

I really like the saturated colours, and the contrasts between the collage and the drawn imagery. There is a strange sense of movement in the image, similar to that of a film still or a photograph.
