It’s not a blueprint;
It’s a design approach
a way of thinking about cities
that are highly technological
but they’re not about technology
they are about people
‘If only we can get to an architecture that really responded to human wish as
it occurred’
Peter Cook, Archigram
‘There is no desire to communicate with everybody, only with those whose
thoughts and feelings are related to our own’
Archigram
If only we can get to cities
where citizens feel they belong,
and feel the city belongs to them as well?
How do we design for ‘ownership’?
