From Mound to Sponge: How Peter Cook Explores Landscape Buildings
10.1002/ad.419.abs
While his fellow Archigram designers were hooked into new technologies, Peter Cook was heading his own private investigation into landscape. Michael Spens traces Cook's preoccupation with site from the aptly named Mound of 1964 through to his Sponge City earthscape of 1974. The project continues with Cook's recent Oslo Patch.
