Card Covers. First Edition, First Printing. An offering of two exceedingly rare issues by the profoundly consequential, avant-garde architectural collective known as Archigram. Formed in the 1960's in London, its members comprised of: Peter Cook, Warren Chalk, Ron Herron, Dennis Crompton, Michael Webb, David Greene, and "hidden hand" designer Theo Crosby. Archigram - a conglomeration of (Architecture+Telegram) - would go on to become one of the, "most seminal, iconoclastic and influential architectural groups of the modern age. They created some of the 20th century's most iconic images and projects, rethought the relationship of technology, society and architecture, predicted and envisioned the information revolution decades before it came to pass, and reinvented a whole mode of architectural education and therefore produced a seam of architectural thought with truly global impact." Intended as, "a free-form magazine [it] was designed to explore new projects and new thinking which were overturning the strict modernist dictates of the 1960s." [Source: Archigram Archival Project].
