Metamorphosis: the architecture of Peter Cook, 1961-1991

Abstract

This report traces a number of themes and ideas which Peter Cook has continually employed with his design projects throughout much of his career. Following his early work with the Archigram group through until recent work, his projects are examined and compared. The projects chosen are representative of only a small selection of his prolific output. They do, however, highlight the explorative nature of Peter Cook, a designer who possesses great skill as a draughtsman and painter, and a strength of conviction in his approach to architecture.
