Overdue Swoopy 60's Architecture Goodness

I've been meaning to post about an exciting new archive on the web.  The University of Westminster has put up an online archive of all things Archigram, a most groovy 60's architecture/graphics/thought collective.  Archigram consisted of Warren Chalk, Peter Cook (no, not the douche architect that married Christy Brinkley, this would be the British architect), Dennis Crompton, David Greene, Ron Herron, and Michael Webb.
Between 1961 and 1974 the group produced numerous building projects, theoretical projects. and a magazine.  But what I was always most intrigued with when I first discovered them (and now) was their super groovy architectural graphics.


The whole archive can be found here.
