"Archigram was a collective of six young renegade British architects; Warren Chalk, Peter Cook, Dennis Crompton, David Greene, Ron Herron and Michael Webb, who sought to turn the established notion of architecture as something permanent, static and enduring on its ear (Wolfe). Their name, Archigram, was derived from a publication they produced called the Architectural Telegram. Coming into 1960s pop culture at the same time as the Beatles, they have been recognized as the Beatles of architecture."More papers on The Walking City:
