| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to analyze the ecological trends found in Architecture of British Archigram Group. The ecological trends employed by Archigram since the formation of the group undermine their representational works. Archigram's ecological trends were basically influenced by the british picturesque tradition and at the same time by cybernetic technology and Land Art movement. But, they developed the 'Technological Picturesque' image beyond their traditional picturesque style instead of its imitation. In the Technological Picturesque of Archigram, technology can substitute all the architectural structures and interact closely with nature. That is, new environmentalism came into the world between nature, technology and architecture. In the end, Archigram sought to create architecturally a plural environment between architecture and technology, nature and human. In other words, Archigram's ecological ideal was the environment where nature, architecture and human can coexist. |
