Reyner Banham Megastructure Pdf Download
Banham had more in common with today designers than with those of the past, and his points about the need to remain forward-looking and value the notion of the future helped pave the way for futures research and futuristic concepts. There is no doubt that his ideas influenced ideas about architecture in the late 1960s, and that the popularization of his ideas in the 1970s and on the 1980s had a major impact on contemporary designers. Banham has been called the father of the American landscape architect, but he would not have considered himself such, as he was not an American. (Although British, he lived mostly in the United States from the mid-1960s to 1990s.) Still, he sees his legacy in how the industry, his contemporaries, and his successors regard his work. Those who are open to innovative thinking today see contemporary problems as similar to how Banham saw problems in the 1960s and 1970s.

Throughout the 1960s the Metabolists developed their views into a grand theory of megastructure. Their High-rise Architecture in the 20th Century was published in 1969 and shaped the thought of the titanic structures built decades later. The theory is complex, and we will be discussing just a handful of it in this essay. These discussions serve to show the relevance of archigram design and the philosophy of the Metabolists for the Jovis architectural discourse of the future city of tomorrow.
