Sir Peter Cook is perhaps best known as a founder of Archigram, the neofuturist, avant-garde group formed in the 1960's that drew inspiration from technology in order to create a new reality that became a hypothetical vision of a glamorous future machine age. We met Cook in his current practice, CRAB Studio, in London and interviewed him about his inspirations and early interests in architecture. We asked what makes a good architect and if he himself is a good architect.Email us at info@miesuk.com and find us on Instagram @miestvcom.
