Archigram Warren Chalk, Peter Cook, Dennis Crompton, David Greene, Ron Herron, & Michael Webb 1960 - Present British

for architects rethinking social space and building technology. The Archigram style was assembled from the Apollo missions, constructivism, biology, manufacturing, electronics, and popular culture, inspiring an architectural movement of High Tech that influenced postmodern and deconstructivist trends of the late twentieth century.

In late 1960, a loose group of architects of Britain’s Architectural Association in London turned away from conventional architecture to propose drawings inspired by pop art and psychedelia that challenged the means of conventional architecture. The main British magazines did not publish student work at the time. Archigram was reacting to this as well as the general sterility of the scene. The title came from a notion of a more urgent and simple item than a journal, like a “telegram,” hence “archi(tecture)-gram.” Archigram’s sense of fun takes its place beside the other cultural agitants of the 1960s, originating attitudes and techniques that became standard

By this time Peter Cook, David Greene, and Mike Webb, in making a broadsheet, had started a new Group. Thus begins Archigram, a chronicle of the work of a group of young British architects that became the most influential architecture movement of the 1960s, as told by the members themselves. It includes material published in early issues of their journal, as well as numerous texts, poems, comics, photo collages, drawings, and fantastical architecture projects. Work presented includes Instant City, pod living, the Features Monte Carlo entertainment center, Blow-out Village, and the Cushicle personalized enclosure. Archigram’s influence continues to influence many of today’s architects; Lebbeus Woods, Neil Denari, Takasaki Masaharu, and Morphosis to name a few. Although most Archigram projects were at the limits of possibility and remained unbuilt, the six architects at the center of the movement, Warren Chalk, Peter Cook, Dennis Crompton, David Greene, Ron Herron, and Michael Webb, became a focal point for the architectural avant-garde, because they redefined the purpose of architecture.

participated in other exhibitions: Superarchitettura 2 and Modena. The next years, Archizoom focused on the project “NoStop City”, a modernist vision of a city of the future. A city without boundaries, artificially lit and air conditioned. No Stop city was composed of a highly artificial environment made up of multifunctional furniture and clothing. For this projects, they created a very complete series of renderings, drawings and plans.

Archizoom Associati, also known as just Archizoom, is a design studio founded in 1966. The group was founded by architects and designers Andrea Branzi, Gilverto Correti, Paolo Deganello and Massimo Morrozzi. In December 1966 they organized there first exhibition: “Superarchittettura” with another group, Superstudio. The exhibition featured prototypes of architecture known for its anti-design approach.

are mostly soft and luminous, with delicate colors and fluid, indeterminate forms. In 1922 in London, he had his first one-man show. His landscapes of the later 1920s reveal his poetic feeling for nature which was an important element in his work. There is a remarkable freedom in the treatment of scale and perspective in his work, and the forms often have a playful, toylike character. His almost naive approach has something in common with the work of Christopher Wood, with whom Nicholson was closely associated during the 1920s. Along with Wood, in 1928 he discovered at St. Ives in Cornwall the work of Alfred Wallis, the greatest modern English primitive. The work of Wallis had a profound effect on Nicholson.

Benjamin Lauder “Ben” Nicholson, OM (10 April 1894 – 6 February 1982) was a British painter of abstract compositions (sometimes in low relief), landscape and still-life. After traveling in Europe, Nicholson went to Pasadena, California, in 1921. While there, he saw his first Cubist work — a painting by Picasso. He later said that “none of the actual events in one’s life have been more real than that, and it still remains a standard by which I judge any reality in my own world.” Nicholson’s landscapes and still lifes of the early 1920s appliance_house_3 Appliance House Image 2

Etienne Boullée 1728-1799 French

Etienne Boullée was a French neoclassical architect, who alongside Claude Nicolas Ledoux, was one of the most influential French architects of the neoclassical era. One of his most famous works was the Cenotaph for Newton, a 150 meter high sphere that was designed as a funerary monument for Isaac Newton. It was designed such that Newton’s sarcophagus would be illuminated through an oculus during both the day and night.

CEDRIC PRICE CEDRIC PRICE 1934-2003 ENGLAND

As a working architect, he was associated with Maxwell Fry and Denys Lasdun before he started his own practice in 1960, working with The Earl of Snowdon and Frank Newby on the design of the Aviary at London Zoo (1961). He later also worked with Buckminster Fuller on the Claverton Dome. One of his more famous projects was the Fun Palace (1961), developed in association with theatrical director Joan Littlewood. Although it was never built, its flexible space influenced other architects, notably Richard (now Lord) Rogers and Renzo Piano whose Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris extended many of Price’s ideas - some of which Price used on a more modest scale in the InterAction Centre at Kentish Town, London (1971). Having conceived the idea of using architecture and education as a way to drive economic redevelopment - notably in the north Staffordshire Potteries area (the ‘Thinkbelt’ project) - he continued to contribute to planning debates. In 1969, with planner Sir Peter Hall and the editor of New Society magazine Paul Barker, he published Nonplan, a work challenging planning orthodoxy. In 1984 Price proposed the redevelopment of London’s South Bank, and foresaw the London Eye by suggesting that a giant Ferris wheel should be constructed by the River Thames. Although he built very little, his lateral approach to architecture and to time-based urban interventions, has ensured that his work has an enduring influence on contemporary architects and artists, from Richard Rogers and Rem Koolhaas, to Rachel Whiteread.

and drawings in order to create an unexpected design. The philosophy of the office can be summarised with their 1980s manifesto “Architecture must burn”: “We want architecture that has more to offer. Architecture that bleeds, exhausts, that turns and even breaks, as far as I am concerned. Architecture that glows, that stabs, that tears and rips when stretched. Architecture must be precipitous, fiery, smooth, hard, angular, brutal, round, tender, colourful, obscene, randy, dreamy, en-nearing, distancing, wet, dry and heart-stopping. Dead or alive. If it is cold, then cold as a block of ice. If it is hot, then as hot as a tongue of flame. Architecture must burn!”

Coop Himmelb(l)au is a cooperative architectural design firm primarily located in Vienna, Austria and which now also maintains offices in Los Angeles, United States and Guadalajara, Mexico. The office has been trying to change the usual design paradigm since its foundation. The office tries to develop a radical design truth a realistic approach.

Peter Eisenman Peter Eisenman Architects 1932American

become known as the New York Five. During that time, he begun a series of residential designs, known as cardboard architecture, referencing their thin white walls and model like qualities. This work stemmed from his interest in language and semiotics. With this work, a text was followed to explain the work. With it, a series of drawings that dissected the process of design for the buildings.

Considered one of the most important architects and educators of the second half of the twentieth century, Peter Eisenman has had an extensive career spanning over 50 years. Founder and director of The Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies from 1967, during which Eisenman address issues that revolved around the nature of the modern city and housing. In 1969, through an exhibition at the MoMA, he became associated with the architects who would

In the late 1970’s Eisenman had then turned to Postmodernism where he further explored the ideas incited with the House Projects. His later work began to become even more complex and became part of the philosophical movement known as Deconstruction. In the 1980 he established his practice in New York City and continue to make architecture. Peter Eisenman has several publications which include Diagram Diaries (1999), Eisenman Inside Out (2004) among others.

FAT Fashion Architecture Taste 1993-2013 British Architects

and make things that excite and hopefully excite the people that we work for.”

Founded in 1995, Fashion, Architecture, Taste (FAT) was an architecture firm founded in the UK by Sean Griffiths, Charles Holland, and Sam Jacob. Jacob describes their work as trying “to understand ways in which architecture can be relevant to contemporary culture. That means both looking forwards and backwards…trying to reject the contemporary mainstream and making it seem fresh…It’s often reaching back into history but using contemporary techniques or contemporary materials or a contemporary take on things which you find. This allows us to progress

As a result, the work of FAT is often categorized as postmodern, with their work containing overt references to many different architectural styles and pop culture. For example, their 2012 Biennale exhibit, title “The Museum of Copying,” argues that architecture is nothing more than a series of iterations of itself. The Heerlijkheid park near Rotterdam, on the other hand, is a tribute to the “allegorical landscape” of the suburban new town in which the park resides. The “villa” is self-described as a decorated shed, with layers or ornamentation speaking directly to the town’s industrial past and the bucolic present, providing an explicit visual narrative on the facade. Another example of this process is the Writer’s House in London, where classical detailing is employed at radical scales to give the effect of “a large fragment of a grand Palladian house having been squeezed into a small domestic space.” All of these projects employ standard architectural techniques, but in ways that create unique effect. While FAT closed their practice following the 2014 Venice Biennale, they have left behind a series of projects that are unlike any other currently in existence.

program that allowed him to work in the architectural office of Carl A. Strauss and Associates while completing his formal classroom education. It was at Strauss’s office that Michael Graves met an early mentor, Ray Roush. Upon receiving the degree of Bachelor of Science in Architecture in 1958, Michael Graves entered Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design and received a Master of Architecture degree the following year. After graduation, Michael Graves went to work for the designer and architect, George Nelson, where his long-standing interest in furniture design was encouraged. Michael Graves’s stay at Nelson’s office was short-lived however, because in 1960 he was the recipient of the Prix de Rome fellowship of the American Academy in Rome. MIchael Graves is a well-known American architect who has be recognized for his work in postmodern architecture as well as his line of domestic products sold at retail stores.

Zaha Hadid Zaha Hadid Architects Iraqi-British architect

Most architects make drawings. Yet, Zaha’s drawings of the 1980s are different, and in several ways. Most notably, she had to originate new systems of projection in order to formulate in spatial terms her complex thoughts about architectural forms and the relationships between them. These new projection methods were widely copied in their time, and influenced, I believe, the then-nascent computer modeling culture. More to the point, they enabled her to synthesize entire landscapes within which a project she was designing may have been only a small part. This has been crucial to her thought because she sees architecture

as an integral part of the wider world. She was a global architect long before the term acquired its present meaning. Studying the drawings from this period, we find that fragmentation is the key. Animated bits and pieces of buildings and landscapes fly through the air. The world is changing. It breaks up, scatters, and reassembles in unexpectedly new, yet uncannily familiar forms. http://lebbeuswoods.wordpress.com/2009/03/23/zahahadids-drawings-1/

John Hejduk 1929-2000 American

He offered dark, brooding meditations on architectural themes. Images of ashes, graveyards, watchtowers and medusa heads recurred in his drawings. He believes that a drawing could stand by itself as a completed work of architecture. And, if one reads the drawing as the architectural work, then the page of the drawing—its frame—becomes the site.

John Quentin Hejduk was an American architect, artist and educator, who served as the Dean of the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture at the Cooper Union until his death. He was an architect who largely abstained from conventional practice, and the bulk of his work consisted of theoretical projects, executed in the form of drawings that were combined into poetic, often highly personal narratives.

Thomas Hillier FLEAFOLLYARCHITECTS 1982 -Present British

from the Bartlett School of Architecture and was awarded the ‘Dean’s list for excellence in design’ under the tutelage of CJ Lim in 2008. Nonetheless, he has already exhibited around the world, notably in 2012 with his first solo exhibition at the RAW Gallery of Architecture in Winnipeg, Canada. In 2010 his project entitled ‘The Migration of Mel & Judith’ was exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition where he was awarded a High Commendation for best first time exhibitor and was interviewed and featured on the BBC Culture Show.

Thomas Hillier’s work has been published extensively in books and journals such as Blueprint, Icon and Domus and he continues to write internationally on the use of narrative within architecture. A recent graduate, Thomas Hillier received his MArch in Architecture with a Distinction

Thomas’s architectural interests go beyond the built environment to include art, design, storytelling and installations with a particular interest in how literature can be directly translated into urban and architectural space. He attempts to look at architecture from a different perspective, using unorthodox narratives and programs to create original and often surreal observations. Most recently, Thomas is co-founder of FLEAFOLLYARCHITECTS, a new energetic architecture practice.

Sir John Soane Office of Works 1753-1837 English

swamped by the revival styles of the 19th century. It was not until the late 19th century that the influence of Sir John’s architecture was widely felt.

Sir John Soane was an English architect who specialised in the Neo-Classical style. The son of a bricklayer, he rose to the top of his profession, becoming professor of architecture at the Royal Academy and an official architect to the Office of Works. He received a knighthood in 1831. His architectural works are distinguished by their clean lines, massing of simple form, decisive detailing, careful proportions and skilful use of light sources. The influence of his work, coming at the end of the Georgian era, was

His best-known work was the Bank of England (his work there is largely destroyed), a building which had a widespread effect on commercial architecture. He also designed Dulwich Picture Gallery, which, with its toplit galleries, was a major influence on the planning of subsequent art galleries and museums. His main legacy is Sir John Soane’s Museum, in Lincoln’s Inn Fields, London. The museum comprises his former home and office, designed to display the art works and architectural artifacts that he collected during his lifetime, and described in the Oxford Dictionary of Architecture as ‘one of the most complex, intricate, and ingenious series of interiors ever conceived’.

Christian Kerrigan Christian Kerrigan 1979 Irish in Oslo, Norway & the BOZAR at the Palace of Fine Arts Brussels Belgium. At this book launch in San Francisco Christian was introduced to internatinal curators opening his spectrum of opportunity. He worked at STUFISH with Mark Fisher, designing stage set for large concert venues and art pavilions. After this experience christian began developing installatons for art galleries in order to continue his development of The 200 Year Continuum. Christian exhibited installations at The Jago Contemporary Art Gallery in September 2008 and The Bargehouse show ‘Transition’ at Oxo Tower Wharf, London in March 2009.

Christian Kerrigan was born in Co. Wicklow, Ireland in 1979. In his art he uses digital technology to make objects, installations, and drawings which draw out an array of ideas about nature, technology and mortality. The 200 Year Continuum is the title given to his collection which he has been developing since graduating with a Masters, from The Bartlett School of Architecture in 2007. At this time Christian was awarded the Fitzroy Robinson Drawing Prize, at University College London and the Reid Prize for Postgraduate Diploma. Previously graduating from Edinburgh College of Art, he also received a Dipolma in Architectural Technology at Dublin Institue of Technology in Ireland. After graduating his drawings were published alongside artists Joseph Beuys, Jeanne Claude & Christo, Olafur Eliasson and Cai Guo Qiang in the publication, Art in Action, Nature, Creativity and Our Collective Future, in partnership with United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and Natural World Museum (NWM) San Francisco. The publication was exhibited at the Nobel Peace Center

In November 2008, Christian was guest speaker and exhibitor at the GSK New Contemporary Art season, at the Royal Academy of Arts, London. In December that year he aslo presented his work at the 11th Generative Art International Conference Milan and in February 2009, he presented at an international conference of Architecture and Complexity at University College London. In August 2009 he was selected to present an Art paper from the The 200 Year Continuum at SIGGRAPH, the 36th International Conference on computer graphics and interactive techniques, New Orleans. Christian was also awarded Artist in residence by Arts Council of England and Creative Partnerships to develop the use of digital technology in collaboration with Our Lady’s Catholic Primary school Stoke-on-Trent from February to July 2009. In March 2009, he was also selected for Tate Modern, Unilever Series: Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster TH 2058 Visions for London 2058 and the MMOCA Publication, Visionary Drawings by Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. In August 2009, his narrative ‘The Amber Clock’, was published in a Special Issue of Leonardo, the journal of art and technology and also Technoetic Arts focusing upon the juncture between art, technology and the mind.

Rem Koolhaas Rem Koolhaas OMA 1944Dutch

The next landmark publication by Koolhaas was S,M,L,XL, together with Bruce Mau, Jennifer Sigler, and Hans Werlemann (1995),[13] a 1376-page tome combining essays, manifestos, diaries, fiction, travelogues, and meditations on the contemporary city. The layout of the huge book transformed architectural publishing, and such books— full-colour graphics and dense texts—have since become common. Ostensibly, S,M,L,XL gives a record of the actual implementation of “Manhattanism” throughout the various (mostly unrealized) projects and texts OMA had generated

up to that time. The part lexicon-type layout (with a marginal “dictionary” composed by Jennifer Sigler, who also edited the book) spawned a number of concepts that have become common in later architectural theory, in particular “Bigness”: ‘old’ architectural principles (composition, scale, proportion, detail) no longer apply when a building acquires Bigness. This was demonstrated in OMA’s scheme for the development of “Euralille” (1990–94), a new centre for the city of Lille in France, a city returned to prominence by its position on the new rail route from Paris to London via the Channel Tunnel. OMA sited a train station, two centres for commerce and trade, an urban park, and ‘Congrexpo’ (a contemporary Grand Palais with a large concert hall, three auditoria and an exhibition space). In another essay in the book, titled “The Generic City”, Koolhaas declares that progress, identity, architecture, the city and the street are things of the past: “Relief … it’s over. That is the story of the city. The city is no longer. We can leave the theatre now...”

Jimenez Lai bureau-spectacular 2008-Now American

Jimenez Lai is a faculty member at UCLA and taught at University of Illinois at Chicago. He graduated with a Master of Architecture from University of Toronto. Previously, Jimenez Lai lived and worked in a desert shelter at Taliesin and resided in a shipping container at Atelier Van Lieshout on the piers of Rotterdam. Before founding Bureau Spectacular, Lai worked for various international offices, including OMA. In the past years, Lai built numerous installations as well as being widely exhibited and published around the world, including the MoMA-collected White Elephant. His first manifesto, Citizens of No Place, was published by Princeton Architectural Press with a grant from the Graham Foundation. Jimenez Lai has pioneered an unexpected and wholly unique approach that moves beyond contemporary architectural renderings and models. His graphic novel - Citizens of No Place is a collection of graphic stories on architecture and urbanism. Inspired by the theoretical drawings of paper architects, Lai uses manga-style storyboards to explore the role of fantasy and storytelling in architecture and in the process ushers in the next generation of theory and criticism.

tactility and texture of paint, more emphasis is placed upon the paint itself. It had to be even, sharp, smooth and flawless in order to capture the essence of color. Sparse, yet bearing layers of philosophical, emotional depth, the effects of Malevich’s work were felt in the art world at the time and continue to resonate today.

At a first glance, Malevich’s Black Square (1915) looks deceptively simple. But within these shapes lie a host of artistic associations. Malevich described the black square as the ‘zero of form’ and the white background as ‘the void beyond this feeling.’ In a way, his technique proclaimed that paintings are composed of flat, abstract areas of paint – just as much a rejection of the medium as a celebration of its endless possibilities. Here, the act of painting is subordinate to the rules of composition, form and color. Strangely, by rejecting the

Michelangelo 1475-1564 Italian

a famous unexecuted project- facade plan for Basilica of San Lorenzo. Michelangelo’s architecture stands out equally as impressive as his paintings or sculptures. Though audiences today so much less receptive to his architecture. The principal reason is that it is deceptively difficult to understand.

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and engineer of the High Renaissance. Architecture became Michelangelo’s primary occupation in the last thirty years of his life, and once he had finally settled in Rome, he began to work on projects in earnest. His architecture works includes St. Peter’s Basilica, Laurentian Library, Chapel of Leo X, New Sacristy, Piazza del Campidoglio complex, Palazzo Farnese, Porta Pia, and

Those tense, muscular figures in his painting and sculpture have an immediate, visceral impact. His architectures, too, has the power to move the uninitiated. Visitors with no background in Michelangelo’s architectural thought is still likely to experience a sense of tension and compression. On a deeper level, Michelangelo’s architecture engaged in a playful dialogue with classical style—the columns, capitals, bases and myriad other elements that formed the lingua franca of architecture from classicism’s invention in ancient Greece to the dawn of modernism in the 20th century.

Piet Mondrian Mondrian 1872-1944 Dutch

crucial in the development of modern art.

Known as one of the founders of the De Stijl movement. He is known for his pure abstractions and methods by which he arrived at his works. In his work, Mondrian simplified elements to reflect the order underlying the visible world. The result was a clear, almost universal aesthetic language. During the 1920’s, he painted his more well known work, reducing and completely abstracting the objects in the painting to rectangles and lines using only a very basic color palette. His abstractions, with its asymmetrical balanced and simplified vocabulary, were

sectioning, with a pragmatic sense of materiality, the use of pressed steel plates, concrete, and a few wellplaced elements of color. Visible constructions only add to the formal excitement of open-ended and juxtaposing spaces, which testifies to a sound understanding of urban surroundings and programmatic constraints.

Morphosis’ designs reflect the legacy of Southern Californian architects such as Rudolph Schindler and Richard Neutra. The studio was founded by Thom Mayne, Livio Santini, James Stafford, and Michael Brickler in 1972. They were joined three years later by Michael Rotondi. The office is named after the Greek term, morphosis, which signifies a process of forming or being in formation. Hence the name reflects a willingness to embrace sculptural shapes and the sensation of movement. Morphosis’ design philosophy is targeted at creating meaning in architecture as a reflection of physical and mental contexts. Their buildings feature daring cuts and

Early projects were primarily of smaller scale and locally based, yet today Morphosis Architects is a significant global player on the architectural scene, with offices in Los Angeles and New York and projects in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia. This includes residential, institutional, and civic architecture, as well as large-scale urban design projects and small-scale object design. Parametric modeling and BIM are new tools in the hands of an office which has nevertheless always strived for spatial complexity and intricate interplays between concept and construction. Thom Mayne (born 1944) is design director of Morphosis. Mayne graduated from the University of Southern California and the Harvard University Graduate School of Design and took part in the foundation of what has become one of the most cutting edge schools of architecture in the US, Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCIArc). Mayne has held several teaching positions and was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2005.

Rudolph Schindler 1887-1953 Austrian-American

from 1910–13, studying with Otto Wagner and Adolf Loos, whose ideas about modern architecture permeated the school. But perhaps the biggest influence on the young architect was the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, who he later joined in 1918 before beginning his own practice in Los Angeles, CA.

Rudolph Michael Schindler was an Austrian-born American architect whose most important works were built in or near Los Angeles during the early to mid-twentieth century. Schindler was born in Vienna in 1887 and educated at the Bau-(Architektur) schule of the k.k. Technische Hochschule (Polytechnic Institute) in Vienna from 1906–11. Before he had finished his degree there, he enrolled in the k.k. Akademie der bildenden Künste (Academy of Fine Arts)

Schindler designed around 500 projects of which about 150 were built. Many other projects included a collaboration of works with the famous Richard Nuetra. These were largely single-family houses, although there were some apartments, small commercial buildings, and a single church. Few clients were quite as radical in their tastes as Schindler was himself and in addition Schindler developed ways to make inexpensive modern architecture out of cheap materials—stucco and plaster over wood frame. Rudolf Schindler is associated with the one of the greatest pioneers in the California modern movement. His inventive use of complex three-dimensional forms, warm materials, and striking colors, as well as his ability to work successfully within tight budgets placed him as one of the true mavericks of early twentieth century architecture.

Dan Slavinsky <<currently experimenting>> http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/dan-slavinsky/37/764/741

We don’t know much about this artist, but his drawings can tell more than words. The stunning portfolio that you can find at his blog features his works with small descriptions. The name of this artist is Dan Slavinsky and the works we are interested in are architectural concept renderings. The whole title of the series of these images is “A Series of Drawings from the End of Time Bartlett, London 2010”. As you see, not too much information, but let’s return to his wonderful art. Each image is a sophisticated rendering of the fantastic concept. All these spirals, geometric lines

along with science-fiction motives create the original mood and underline the talent of their creator. Let’s check out the aesthetics of these drawings by Dan Slavinsky together!ex in sem consequat, eget pulvinar libero faucibus.

LAURA ALLEN & MARK SMOUT SMOUT ALLEN American

Mark Smout and his partner, Laura Allen, are principals at Smout Allen and are Senior Lecturers at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. Their work takes two routes, architectural competitions, where the particular rigor of the competition brief, site and program provide the basis for new investigations and, conceptual design projects which test out the agenda and methodology of the design research practice. Smout Allen focuses on the dynamic relationship between the natural and the man made and how this can be revealed to enhance the experience of the architectural landscape.

doing, practicing, and excersising our ethical concerns in relation to architecture.” The featured drawings demonstrate his expressive, yet precise way of working through analog representation in conjunction to technology and science. The work reaches past what Spiller calls the status quo of the twenty-first century to find new ways of communicating through architectural representation, and new forms in architecture. He combines the virtual and the actual in his work, and seeks to find spaces where the two can inform one another.

Neil Spiller is currently Dean of School of Architecture, Design and Construction at the University of Greenwich and Professor of Architecture and Digital Theory. Prior to this he was Vice-Dean and Graduate Director of Design at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. He is also known for being the founding director of AVATAR (Advanced Virtual and Technological Architectural Research) Group. Spiller’s work focuses on finding “new ways of seeing,

office, he showed a renewed interest in the social and cultural aspects of architectural form, and hence in its contextual appropriateness. The contextual and technical aspects are finely balanced in a project for an Arts Centre (1971; unexecuted) at the University of St Andrews. In 1971 Stirling took his associate Michael Wilford (b 1938) into partnership; their projects for various German clients integrated contextual and historical aspects into the designs, maintaining a fine balance between the resonances of past and future. The success of this approach is perhaps most readily evident in the design for the Staatsgalerie (1977–84) at Stuttgart, where the main volumes conform to the original museum but entrances and other elements suggest a modern sense of dissonance and improvisation. Stirling graduated in architecture from the University of Liverpool after service in World War II. During the next six years he worked in London, mainly with the firm of Lyons, Israel and Ellis, and in 1956 he started his own practice in partnership with James Gowan, then a colleague in the same office. With their first major commission, a group of flats (1957) at Ham Common, London, Stirling and Gowan established a reputation for forthright design. After 1969, when Leon Krier spent some time in Stirling’s

The later work of Stirling and Wilford shows increasing mastery in the ability to contain both technological and traditional elements within a consistent but flexible modern style. He was a master in the combination of opposites, and the balance achieved in his work was a fusion between the requirements of the building programme and the prompting of a powerful architectural sensibility. Stirling achieved wide recognition from his professional colleagues, culminating in the award of the RIBA Gold Medal in 1980.

Superstudio

in Graz, Austria. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. “In the beginning we designed objects for production, designs to be turned into wood and steel, glass and brick or plastic - then we produced neutral and usable designs, then finally negative utopias, forewarning images of the horrors which architecture was laying in store for us with its scientific methods for the perpetuation of existing models.” This was how Superstudio described its work in a catalogue the group produced to accompany the 1973 exhibition Fragments From A Personal Museum at the Neue Galerie

Superstudio’s thinking has proved more enduring than the group itself. Quaderna tables are still in production at Zanotta and Superstudio’s collages and drawings have been acquired for the permanent collections of Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Moreover the group’s once radical theories about architecture’s environmental impact, the potentially negative consequences of technology and the inability of politics to untangle complex social problems are now considered to be core concerns by self-aware contemporary architects and designers.

Bernard Tschumi 1944-present Swiss Architect

Bernard Tschumi (b. 1944) is a French-Swiss architect. He received his degree from ETH Zürich in 1969 and was the Dean of the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation at Columbia from 1988-2003. He is frequently associated with deconstructionism, and his writings and work focus on the relationship between architecture and the event. This was most prominently explored in The Manhattan Transcripts (1981), where he explored an architectural interpretation of reality. Plans, sections, and diagrams outline paces and indicate movements of

protagonists intruding into an architecture “stage set.” This project was to transcribe things normal removed from conventional architectural representation, namely the complex relationship between spaces and their use, between “type” and “program,” between objects and events. The ideas developed in these transcripts were implemented in Tschumi’s winning proposal for Parc de la Villette in 1982 (which also coincided with the establishment of his own practice, Bernard Tschumi Architects). The design for the park was meant to design spaces for culture rather than nature, with elements of the park supporting and manipulating interaction between users and site, organized by a grid of 35 follies. The drawings of Tschumi develop the idea of the event within architecture, and to explore architecture’s role as a tool to question and revise the social structure within it. “Any relationship between a building and its users is one of violence,” Tschumi writes in Architecture and Disjunction (1996), “for any use means the intrusion of a human body into a given space, the intrusion of one order into another.” For Tschumi, architecture and the inhabitation of architecture are not mutually exclusive, but rather the relationship between the two has the potential for new types of interaction to be explored.

Robert Venturi Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates 1925-present American Architect

published in 1966, Venturi writes that "As an architect, I try to be guided not by habit but by a conscious sense of the past—by precedent, thoughtfully considered." He continues later, "As an artist, I frankly write about what I like in architecture: complexity and contradiction. From what we find we like—what we are easily attracted to—we can learn much of what we really are.” Venturi is an architect whose work cannot be categorized; to him, there is never a single solution. Lest anyone try to pigeon-hole him as a postmodernist, he declared that he was practicing modern architecture, while still giving importance to human use, memories, comfort and entertainment.

A 1950 graduate of Princeton University, Robert Venturi challenged the rigidity of modernism and promoted the richness and ambiguity that history provides in architecture. He worked in the offices of Eero Saarinen and Louis Kahn before establishing his own firm, Venturi was heavily influenced by, but rarely associated with, modern architecture. One of his first notable projects, a house for his mother, received much attention for its prominent use of ornamentation on the facade. In the introduction of his first book, ‘Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture’,

Robert Venturi's wife and partner, Denise Scott Brown, has been his collaborator in the their evolution of architectural theory and design. They worked on another book, ‘Learning from Las Vegas,’ with Steven Izenour, and explored the conditions of urban sprawl, suburbs, and signage in relation to their architectural theories. While the work produced by Venturi is too rich and vast to describe in this short bio, his ideology as a designer and theorist can best be described by his own quote: "When I was young, a sure way to distinguish great architects was through the consistency and originality of their work...This should no longer be the case. Where the Modern masters' strength lay in consistency, ours should lie in diversity."

Michael Webb Archigram b. 1937 English

he was a founding member in 1963. In Archigram, Webb along with Peter Cook, Warren Chalk, Ron Herron, Dennis Crompton, and David Greene, drew inspiration from modern technologies and pop culture to create a series of hypothetical, neofuturistic, and consumerist projects as a reaction against the prevalence and sterility of modernism. Their work was meant to to be “a new architecture that would stand alongside the spacecapsules, the inflatable structures and the lifestyles of a new generation.”

Michael Webb (b. 1937, Henley-on-Thames) is a British architect and founding member of Archigram. He studied at the Royal Polytechnic Institution, and took seventeen years to complete the 5-year curriculum. One of his projects as a student, entitled The Sin Center, received a failing grade but ended up on display at a 1962 MoMA ‘Visionary Architecture’ exhibition. This project explored the relationship of bringing together different ‘popular culture’ elements in relationship to the automobile. Webb continued this interest as a member of Archigram, which

In his own work, Webb has studied linear perspective, most notably in his Temple Island projects. In this project, Webb attempts to layer different depictions of a landscape in a single drawing. By working from a two-dimensional photograph as the ‘site’ (as opposed to a three-dimensional habitable landscape), Webb interprets different ‘speeds’ of a rowing regatta as an elevation, as both a reality within the photograph and the perception of it from the viewer. The result is a series of images that test the relationship of time, and well as distance, to the page. As a result, the Temple Island projects challenge the conventions of traditional architectural perspective.

Mas Yendo 1957-Present Japanese

Theoretical models derived from the natural sciences tend to overlook significant characteristics of the physical environment and their effects on human occupants. Often, technologies are imagined to fulfill human needs that remain, in fact, completely unsatisfied. We must therefore think of a place as a qualitative, total, existential phenomenon. Existential space: this is the basic relationship between man and his environment.”

“What I speculate in my work is that new technologies will play an important part in how architects embrace new ideas. The advancement of seemingly unrelated sciences such as biochemical engineering, coupled with the growing consciousness of environmental issues, furthered by the development of mechanical design, must serve to inspire creativity. Under the sway of abstract scientific theories, architecture has lost its connection to the concrete experience of space.

Born in Tokyo, Japan in 1957, Mas Yendo attended the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) (BA) and the Pratt Institute where he received his Masters of Architecture degree. His work is inspired by the aesthetics of machinery, hardware, and post-apocalyptic possible worlds that have appropriated machines for inhabitation and the spectacle of a science fiction-like future. His drawings often allude to a grungy, dark possibility, in the event of an ecological disaster, or the possible collapse of consumerism. However, his drawings also emit an optimism, one that uses drawing to push back on limiting conditions of today’s global culture. He won the “Sidney Katz Award” for design in 1989. He is also an invited lecturer at the Pratt Institute, University of Innsbruck, the Bartlett School of Architecture, and SCIARC.
