Plug-In CityArchigram, Unbuilt Concept, 1964
Archigram was an avant-garde architectural group formed in the 1960s that was futurist, antiheroic and pro-consumerist, drawing inspiration from technology in order to create a new reality that was solely expressed through hypothetical projects.
Plug-in-City is a mega-structure with no buildings, just a massive framework into which dwellings in the form of cells or standardised components could be slotted.
