The first Archigram was an outburst against the crap going up in London, against the attitude
of a continuing European tradition of well-mannered but gutless arhchitecture that had
absorbed the lable Modern, but had betrayed most of the philosophies of the earliest
Modern
Primul numar Archigram a fost o reactie impotriva prostiilor ce se petreceau in Londra,
impotriva unei continue atitudini a traditiei europene de arhitectura bine manierata, dar fara
curaj, arhitectura ce a absorbit eticheta de modern, dar care a tradat cam toate filosofiile
modernismului de inceput
- Peter Cook, 1967

a nostalgic echo of the 30s rather than a confession

of faith in present time and circumstance

mai degraba un ecou nostalgic al aniilor 30,

decat o confesiune a increderii in timpul si
circumstanta prezentului - dupa John
Summerson

1.Frustrare

John Summerson

what is most disliked about us.. is the control wich we

exercise over other peoples activity with so little obvious and
acceptable result.. it seems to me that our plans today are so
small and dreary and are made known so dimly and
grudgingly that in the main they deserve indifference and
contempt they get

mas Sharp

cel mai antipatizat lucru despre noi.. este controlul pe care il

exersam asupra activitatiilor altor oameni cu un rezultat atat
de putin evident si acceptabil.. mi se pare ca planurile
noastre in present sunt asa minuscule si banale si sunt facute
cunoscute asa slab si ezitant incat merita indiferenta si
dispretul pe care il primesc
