The
extraordinary influence of the mainly unbuilt 1960s-70s architectural
group Archigram is internationally acknowledged. Exhibitions of their
work have toured major institutions worldwide, they were awarded the
RIBA Gold Medal in 2002, and are recognised influences on many of the
world’s greatest contemporary architects and buildings. Yet the bulk of
their visionary work remains uncatalogued and inaccessible, stored in
domestic conditions, subject to dilapidation, sale and loss. |

In
collaboration with Archigram members and their heirs, EXP has been
awarded three years funding by the AHRC to form an online, searchable,
item level, descriptive catalogue and restricted digital surrogate of
the work, for both specialist and public research
We are currently running the pilot study stage of the project.
The first images included are available for search or browsing. You can
also view interviews of Archigram members or see a slideshow of project
images. |
