About the artist

As a co-founder of Archigram in the 1960s, Sir Peter Cook reshaped architectural possibilities. The culmination of his vision came in 2003 with the Kunsthaus in Graz, co-designed with Colin Fournier. Meanwhile, he emerged as a leading architectural educator in the UK, steering the Institute of Contemporary Arts and pioneering Art Net.

Archigram's blend of Pop Art and emerging technology envisioned architecture where function dictated form, influencing iconic structures like the Pompidou Centre. Cook's penchant for spectacle infused his role as an art impresario, sparking dialogues on contemporary culture.

His drawings, both at Archigram and beyond, challenged traditional architectural norms, inspiring future luminaries like Zaha Hadid and Rem Koolhaas. Discussion and collaboration remain central to his ethos, advocating for creative integration in architectural education.

As a professor at the Bartlett School, Cook transformed it into a global hub for creative design, echoing his earlier impact at the Architectural Association and Städelschule. His legacy extends worldwide, shaping the discourse on architectural innovation and education.
