paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. In total 11 oblong sheets (25.4 x 40.5cm), printed in various colours of ink on various colours of stock, stapled at one side and folded once to make a booklet, one sheet with the (unused) packet of night-scented stock still stapled to it. 'No longer do the marvels of technology have to be declaimed as a dramatic or wonderful or even a particularly significant thing any more. The world can be complex but could be relaxed as well.' In the light of conversations 'in cities spread far apart' about 'effort, survival, infiltration, and the increasing irrelevancy of "nice design"', this issue offers things to do: 'things to make, things to read, things to comment upon, things to plant and to grow, things to be mailed back to us'. Contents include the introduction of the 'Archizones' project ('Archigram's International Interchange'), the 'instant city', Dreams Come True Inc, the Room of 1000 Delights, the Medikit project, Osakagram, Arata Isozaki, and in general 'Gardening and the easing of tension between the mechanical and the natural'. Contributors include Tony Rickaby (plus the cover), Ron Herron, Mike Webb, David Greene, and Cook. Slightly rubbed, the first few corners somewhat creased/dog-eared, the lower corner with a tiny nick, the whole with a mild vertical bend which has little impact, particularly inside, the staples a touch rusty, and outwardly a little shelfworn in general, with the occasional spot or small mark. Loosely inserted are a flyer for An Instant City Workshop in Nottingham and a leaflet for 'Architectural Design' ('AD') magazine.

First Edition. 20 x 14cm. Side-stapled paperback, unpaginated [22pp, including 2-fold outs pages]. Some text overcropped, as usual. Pages printed recto only. Cover designed by Rae and Ben Fether. Introduces architectural, artistic and highly idealised imagined concepts of 'crust' and 'eruption' as applied to design, culminating in the design for 'The Molehill': "a build-up of crust that embraces the inter-activity within". This is then juxtaposed with 'The Cluster'. The diagonal direction is also examined as a crucial consideration for designing multi-level cities. Includes 'Computor City: A Synthesised Metropolis with Electronic Changeability' imagining a computer-mediated metropolis. Replete with counter-cultural and contemporary popular culture symbolism. Some scuffing to the front cover's upper staple. Otherwise very good condition.
