“In autumn 1964 the fifth edition of the magazine Archigram appeared in London, dedicated to the subject Metropolis. Along with Archigram’s designs for Plug-in City, it showcased Constant Nieuwenhuys’ urban vision New Babylon and Yona Friedman’s La Ville spatiale, under the title Within the big structure.

These designs now rank among the incunabula of the 1960s. Combining visionary architecture, pop culture, art, and situationist rebellion, they became known far beyond the narrow confines of urban planning. The designs still hold their fascination today, not least due to their peculiar aesthetic quality.”
