英國建築團體_ Archigram 建築電訊，其中成員包括華倫‧裘克(Warren Chalk, 1927~1987）、彼得‧庫克(Peter Cook, 1936年生)、丹尼斯‧克藍普頓(Dennis Crompton, 1935年生)、大衛‧葛林( David Greene, 1937年生)、朗‧赫倫(Ron Herron, 1930~1994)與麥克‧威柏( Mike Webb, 1937年生)
1961到1974年是這個團體最活躍的時期
Archigram對於當代的影響，主要來自一系列對於未來建築與都市想像的圖畫及展覽
Archgram擺脫現代運動的道德教條，借力科技，將建築與都市的想像，發揮到極致；也為強調一致性與普同性的現代運動，打開另一條更具包容性的多元新路
此外，他們也開創建築與通俗文化產業合作之先河
Archgram曾為搖滾樂團體Queen設計舞臺，也曾替歌星Rod Stewart設計住家的游泳池
對應60年代初期的時勢，Archigram選擇取材自建築之外的領域，擴大建築的想像尺度，為一個原本專屬於中年保守心態的領域（建築與都市計劃），注入年輕的熱忱，並且以全新的想像，讓現代運動曾經允諾但漸趨黯淡的美麗新世界，再次更新與重構
他們認為城市是一連串事件的集合體，建築反倒是次要的。
Plug-in-City, Peter Cook, 1964
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. The machine had taken over and people were the raw material being processed, the difference being that people are meant to enjoy the experience.
The Walking City is constituted by intelligent buildings or robots that are in the form of giant, self contained living pods that could roam the cities. The form derived from a combination of insect and machine and was a literal interpretation of Corbusier's aphorism of a house as a machine for living in. The pods were independent, yet parasitic as they could 'plug in' to way stations to exchange occupants or replenish resources. The citizen is therefore a serviced nomad not totally dissimilar from today's executive cars. The context was perceived as a future ruined world in the aftermath of a nuclear war.
Instant City
Instant City is a mobile technological event that drifts into underdeveloped, drab towns via air (balloons) with provisional structures (performance spaces) in tow. The effect is a deliberate overstimulation to produce mass culture, with an embrace of advertising aesthetics. The whole endeavor is intended to eventually move on leaving behind advanced technology hook-ups.
透過Archigram的圖象，人類與真實世界建立了一種「想像的關係」
在Archigram的想像世界裡，人類化身漫畫人物，與機器人和商品快樂嬉戲，所有欲求，徹底被滿足
