Peter Cook is known to many: on the one hand as a co-founder of Archigram in the 1960s, on the other hand because he realised the construction of the “Friendly Alien” in Graz together with Colin Fourier in 2003.
On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Kunsthaus Graz, the HDA – Haus der Architektur is showing the exhibition “Speculations” with drawings and spatial objects by the British architect.
The experimental character of the exhibition design is tailored to the spaces of the HDA. His visual collages illuminate themes that are important to the architect and reflect many of his architectural ideas. He argues that only through the freedom of visual language can one best investigate the future, breaking free from practical and conventional constraints to rethink alternative cities and ways of life. His inspiring depictions give rise to “speculation” about the future of the city, the region, people and nature, stimulating reflection and inviting visitors on a speculative journey about the potentials and possibilities of present and future living spaces.
