1964. Archigram, Walking City.

“Archigram’s Walking City predicted a post-apocalyptic world: their robotic pods with legs, in constant motion, would traverse a potentially devastated future, protecting their inhabitants inside. Ron Herron and Peter Cook lived in a London that was experiencing a cultural boom, where modernity was at its peak; their visual language and experimentation gave them a distinctive touch for conceiving radically provocative ideas.”

Beanland Christopher, Unbuilt, 2021, Batsford, London, p. 196.

January 28, 1978. Otl Aicher, Northeast Elevation, Project for a Studio, Germany.

“Aicher’s philosophical reflections are an introduction to design, creativity, and developing. For him, there is nothing that should not be designed, created, and developed. This is true of one's own self, of life with others and with nature, the objects of everyday life, living and thinking. We acquire the ability to design and create by doing it. What we do and in what profession is secondary. We should simply not allow ourselves to be guided by preformed design and previously devised plans.”

Yves Zimmermann, A Personal Experience, Otl Aicher - Architecture and Landscape, 2020, La Fábrica, Bilbao, pp. 19, 151.

1978. La Moglie di Lot by Superstudio, Italy.

"-La Moglie di Lot- reflects the idea of change, of impermanence, by which architecture has an institutional birth followed by a life that is not institutional at all. The idea of obsolescence that it expresses, -the fading of glory-, is fascinating. Anti-monumentalism leads us to think that in architecture there are only two clients: the human being and power and, by definition, one denies the other." Gian Piero Frassinelli, 2015.

1950. Peter Koenig, Koenig House No. 1, Los Encinos Avenue, Glendale, California.

"I was too innocent at the time to realize I was doing something different. But it had its advantages. When you're too young to distinguish between the possible and the impossible, you tend to go further."

"When Koenig chose steel as a building material, like Raphael Soriano and Charles Eames, he was breaking new ground and bringing industrial technology into the domestic sphere." (Neil Jackson, 2007)

Neil Jackson, in Koenig, 2007, Taschen, Germany, p. 17.

2016. Alexander Daxböck, Tokyo Metropolis.

"This Japanese urban environment, composed like a manga comic, is a digital experiment that didn't use a three-dimensional model, so the shadows were intuitive: it's a local manifestation of a globalized media landscape."

Helen Thomas, in Drawing Architecture, 2025, Phaidon, London, p. 34.

1975. James Wines (SITE), indeterminate façade, Best Products, Houston, TX.

"The meaning of an established system of signs can change through transformations and ultimately lead to its destruction. Wines's hallucinatory exercises in 'de-architecturalization' with friezes on the verge of collapse, carefully designed and painstakingly constructed ruins, mimic the aftermath of a natural disaster. The allure of the designs lies in the perversion of intentional signs."

J.P. Bonta in Systems of Signification in Architecture, GG, Spain 1977, pp. 66-69. Photo: James Wines (SITE), indeterminate façade, 1975, Best Products, Houston, TX, p. 73.

2006. Oscar Hagerman. Ayuuk Higher Institute, Oaxaca, Mexico.

"They asked that the University be integrated into the Mixe world so they could feel it belonged to them... they proposed palm-thatched roofs, since there were palm trees on the site and they could do the installation themselves." Oscar Hagerman.

In Oscar Hagerman, 2018, Arquine, p. 136.

1907. Alexander Graham Bell. Tower of prefabricated elements, 28 meters.

“Translated into the language of the rational 19th century, Graham Bell reminds us in some ways, through his ideas of universality, of Leonardo da Vinci, if we see in him the embodiment of the
Renaissance concept.” Konrad Wachsmann.

In Udo Kultemann, Contemporary Architecture, 1969, pp. 29-30, photo in Wendepunkt Im Bauen, 1959.
