SynopsisPeter Cook is a founder of Archigram, a collective of six architects known for architecture through drawing. The City, Seen as a Garden of Ideas is a survey of Cook's career-long project to reinvigorate the city. A series of mediations on contemporary urban conditions in cities as diverse as Tokyo, Edinburgh, and Santa Monica, this volume also functions as an informal memoir, at once lyrical and trenchant, in which Cook reveals the influences and motivations behind his seminal works and recent projects. A collection of projects and texts created especially for the monograph completes this compelling presentation., Peter Cook is a founder of Archigram, a collective of six architects known for architecture through drawing.
