A new Kickstarter campaign hopes to reprint the archives of the former Archigram magazine in 2025 with help from ARTBOOK D.A.P.
The first authorized facsimile of all ten issues to be printed since 1963 aims to increase access to currently rare copies of the publication (the M+ museum acquired the complete Archigram archive in 2019 for $2.2 million) alongside an illustrated reader’s guide.
Kickstarter will begin hosting the fundraising effort on Wednesday, February 19th. Tadao Ando, Beatriz Colomina, Norman Foster and Bernard Tschumi, and 24 other names will contribute reflections to go along the reprinted copies, which also include indexes of key concepts and contents, a scrapbook of previously unseen archival images, and biographies and bibliographies of its editors.
The lot will include all the original flyers, pockets, a pop-up centerfold, 8 posters, 5 gatefolds, and an electronic resistor and is to be printed on 12 different paper stocks and housed in a large-format clamshell box designed by Miko McGinty.
This is not to be confused with the new Archigram 10 that was issued this year by Circa Press and edited by founding member Peter Cook.
The magazine itself is considered to be one of the most important publications of the highly experimental and intellectual era of British architecture, standing alongside the Architectural Review (whose influence was covered by a 2023 RIBA exhibition).
Dennis Crompton, one of Archigram’s co-founders passed away earlier this month at the age of 89.
Archigram: The Magazine, a groundbreaking architectural publication from the 1960s, has launched a Kickstarter campaign to reprint its iconic issues.
Founded by a group of young architects in London, Archigram was known for its avant-garde designs and radical ideas about urban planning. The magazine was instrumental in shaping the architectural landscape of the time and continues to inspire designers and thinkers today.
The Kickstarter campaign aims to raise funds to reprint the original issues of Archigram, preserving this important piece of architectural history for future generations. Backers will have the opportunity to receive limited edition copies of the magazines, as well as other rewards such as posters and prints.
With only a limited number of copies available, this is a unique opportunity for architecture enthusiasts to own a piece of design history. Don’t miss out on supporting this important project and securing your own copy of Archigram: The Magazine.
