An innovative look at the contribution of montage to
twentieth-century architecture Graphic Assembly unearths the role
played by montage and collage in the development of architectural
culture over the past century, revealing their unexamined yet
crucial significance. Craig Buckley brings together experimental
architectural practices based in London, Paris, Vienna, and
Florence, showing how breakthroughs in optical media and printing
technologies enabled avant-garde architects to reimagine their
field. Graphic Assembly considers a range of architects and
movements from the 1950s through the early '70s, including Theo
Crosby, Hans Hollein, and John McHale; the magazine Clip-Kit; and
the groups Archigram, Superstudio, and Utopie. It gives a thorough
account of how montage concepts informed the design of buildings,
prototypes, models, exhibitions, and multimedia environments,
accompanied by Buckley's insightful interpretations of the iconic
images, exhibitions, and buildings of the 1960s that mark how the
decade is remembered. Richly illustrated with
never-before-published material from more than a dozen archives and
private collections, Graphic Assembly offers a comparative overview
of the network of experimental architectural practice in Europe. It
provides a deep historical account of the cut-and-paste techniques
now prevalent with architecture's digital turn, demonstrating the
great importance of montage to architecture past, present, and
future.
