Week 1 Reading Reflections

In the 20th Century, very few architectural groups experimented as imaginatively and thoroughly as Archigram in the 60s and 70s. Their work challenged conventions of what a building should be, how a city is constructed, and how our society is established through architecture. While a great number of their ideas were farfetched and unattainable with current technologies, their ideas still permeated down into the next generation of architects.

My project can gain insight from this through pushing the boundaries of my imagination as to what the future may hold for architecture. The future of course is a tangible and unknown thing so when forecasting, a variety of scenarios, both positive and negative, must be explored as Archigram has done.
