The Plug-In City / Peter Cook, Archigram



Between 1960 and 1974 Archigram created over 900 drawings, among them the plan for the “Plug-in City” by Peter Cook. This provocative project suggests a hypothetical fantasy city, containing modular residential units that “plug in” to a central infrastructural mega machine. The Plug-in City is in fact not a city, but a constantly evolving megastructure that incorporates residences, transportation and other essential services--all movable by giant cranes.  The essence of Archigram pushes the boundaries of fantasy and reality and inspired us to reimagine the home in our eyes.
