COOK, Peter. Archigram.

[London]: [The Archigram Group, London], 1970.  First edition.  Softcover.  25.5cm by 20.5cm. Unpaginated (11 sheets folded and printed landscape forma).  Issue nine, the final issue, of the avant-garde architectural group’s influential magazine. This issue centers on themes of ecology and the harmonious integration of technology with nature and in keeping with its ecological theme, the issue included a packet of Night Scented Stock flower seeds attached to one of its pages, symbolizing a tangible connection between the publication and the natural world. A significant feature of this edition is the introduction of the ‘Archizones’ project, described as “Archigram’s International Exchange.” This initiative aimed to identify and connect innovative architects and groups worldwide, fostering a global network for architectural discourse and collaboration. The issue also acknowledges an international array of architectural magazines, notably recognizing the Whole Earth Catalog as part of the North American ‘Archizone.’  A very good copy, scarce in this condition and with seed packet intact.
