Archigram – an intuitive way to architecture
Authors:

Abstract
In 1961, a group of six British architects released the first issue of Architecture Telegram. A completely unprofessional-looking, two-page newsletter was published in an unimpressive number of 400 copies. In the following issues, the number of pages and number of copies has been ¬increased and the name has been shortened. Today we know this newsletter under the name Archigram, which we identify with a group formed by three angry young architects and three experienced, less angry, but with an open mind. In this way, an explosive mixture was created. They rejected pathos, rationalism and historical ballast in architecture. In the years of their activity as a group, Archigram realized only three non-serious projects, among them the pool for Rod Stewart seems to be the most serious. They also left behind thousands of unrealized, futuristic, often bizarre and impractical visions. They were like Thomas Alva Edison in the world of architecture, who had only a few brilliant inventions on over 1000 patented, the rest was completely useless. However, if we ask a question, who has had a significant influence on the world of contemporary architecture, perhaps many will answer: Archigram.
