Its been more than 60 years since Archigram hit the press, but the magazine founded by Warren Chalk, Peter Cook, Dennis Crompton, Ron Herron, David Greene, and Michael Webb still hasnt lost its charge.Now, Distributed Art Publishers (D.A.P.) is reissuing all ten issues of Archigram, the publication which eventually snowballed into the experimental architecture practice we know today. D.A.P. launched a Kickstarter to help raise funds for the project, which went live this morning. Original copies of Archigram are sold on the market for $600 a pop. The project by D.A.P. to reissue Archigram will help democratize the publications proliferation.The first issue of Archigram was two pages long. (Courtesy D.A.P.)The first issue of Archigram went out in 1961 and was two pages long; it was created in part using an electric typewriter. Beatriz Colomina called Archigram a protest magazine against the stodginess of the architectural establishment. It remains so. Ever little and huge in its impact. Michael Sorkin said Archigram was architectures version of The Beatles.Dennis Crompton, an Archigram cofounder and longtime friend of AN, who passed recently, said after he and his friends started the magazine, the name stuck, and they went on to build a movement that changed architecture forever. For those new to Archigram, a fully illustrated readers guide will help provide context with tributes by 28 contemporary architectural luminaries, including: Tadao Ando, Shigeru Ban, Aric Chen, Beatriz Colomina, Mike Davies, Odile Decq, Neil Denari, Norman Foster, Kenneth Frampton, Nicholas Grimshaw, Ivan Harbour, Tom Heneghan, Steven Holl, Bjarke Ingels, and others.The reprint will also include original essays by Cook, David Grahame Shane, Shirley Surya, Helen Castle, and Reyner Banham.The reprints will introduce a new generation to canonical projects, like Walking City. (Courtesy D.A.P.)D.A.P. noted that all of Archigrams exquisite idiosyncrasies will be faithfully reproduced including its flyers, pockets, a pop-up centerfold, posters, gatefolds and an electronic resistor. The reprints will also have 8 posters, 10 gatefolds, an electronic resistor. The issues will be contained within a large-format clamshell box designed by Miko McGinty.(Courtesy D.A.P.)The publishing project will introduce readers to canonical projects like Walking City, Plug-In City and Instant City in the manner in which they were received decades ago: In book form, not on a screen. D.A.P. described the reprint as perhaps its most ambitious publishing project to date and as a labor of love conducted over the past two years in partnership with Designers & Books and Archigram.ANis in conversation with D.A.P. about programming to support the title and its intersection with the interests of ANs cofounder Bill Menking for next fall.
