Peter Cook has been a pivotal figure within the architecture world
for over half a century. He first came to international renown in
the 1960s as a founder of the radical, experimental group
Archigram, winners of the 2002 RIBA Royal Gold Medal. He is also
former Director of the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA),
London, and Emeritus Professor and former Chair of the Bartlett
School of Architecture (University College London). Suffused with
Peter's infectious energy, enthusiasm and charm, this intriguing
memoir explores major themes in architecture through the lens of
his life and work. Taking the reader on a journey through his
colourful and wide-ranging career, it touches on his early years
and architectural education, his relationships with key figures
within the architecture community and his work teaching and
lecturing internationally. It also provides an inside account of
his leadership of the Bartlett, for which he is frequently credited
as a central figure in rescuing the reputation of a once-ailing,
now world-famous, school of architecture. Featuring full-colour
images of his most famous drawings, including Archigram's 'Plug-in
City', and built works, such as the Kunsthaus Graz in Austria and
the Vienna Economics and Business University's Department of Law
and Central Administration Buildings, this book is a window into
the life of one of architecture's most celebrated rebels.
