ARCHIGRAM 1

The love is gone. The poetry in bricks is lost. We want to drag into building some of the poerty of coundown, orbital helmets, discord of mechanical body transportation methods and leg walking Love gone. Lost our fascinating intricate movings are trapped in soggen brown packets all hidden all Art and front, no bone no love. A new generation of architecture must arise with forms and space which seem to reject the precepts of ‘modern’ yet in fact retains these precepts. WE HAVE CHOSEN TO BYPASS THE DECAYING BAUHAUS IMAGE WHICH IS AN INSULT TO FUNCTIONALISM. You can roll out steel any length You can blow up balloon any size You can mould plactic any shape Blokes that built the forth bridge THEY DIDNT WORRY You can roll out paper any length take Chambers’ dictionary THAT’S LONG You can built concrete ang height FLOW? water flows or doesnt or does flow or not flow YOU CAN WEAVE STRING any mesh TAKE THIS TABLE you’ve got a top there topand four legs you can sit IN it you sit ON it, UNDER it or half under
