Archizoom, Andrea Branzi and the No-Stop City
6 November 2015
Archizoom describe this ‘hypothetical theatre’ as part of a fluid and unstoppable culture, a non-stop metropolis re-imagined to fit the times, characterised by mobile theatres, unbound books, rooms without plan, unwritten music, … and cities made of voids.
For the first time the presentation technique has … become a specific technique that has no connection with the architectonic idiom. The drawing is no longer a scaled reduction of reality, but a finished product in itself which need not necessarily be put into effect. The impossibility of realisation is accepted and becomes not a source of frustration, but one more degree of freedom.
