First Edition. 20 x 14cm. Side-stapled paperback, unpaginated [22pp, including 2-fold outs pages]. Some text overcropped, as usual. Pages printed recto only. Cover designed by Rae and Ben Fether. Introduces architectural, artistic and highly idealised imagined concepts of 'crust' and 'eruption' as applied to design, culminating in the design for 'The Molehill': "a build-up of crust that embraces the inter-activity within". This is then juxtaposed with 'The Cluster'. The diagonal direction is also examined as a crucial consideration for designing multi-level cities. Includes 'Computor City: A Synthesised Metropolis with Electronic Changeability' imagining a computer-mediated metropolis. Replete with counter-cultural and contemporary popular culture symbolism. Some scuffing to the front cover's upper staple. Otherwise very good condition.

First Edition. 30 x 30cm. Side-stapled paperback, unpaginated [tete-beche head-to-toe format, the front-to-back pagination runs as follows: 11 preliminary page strips slightly under half-size, followed by 11 leaves full size - mostly printed recto-only]. Iconic colour cover designed by Geoffrey Raymond Reeve. A scarce and very fragile samizdat-quality publication combining pop art with architecture, which includes six A4 advertising sheets (three duplicates) surveying Archigram's legacy - presumably printed post-1972 - on varying colour paper stock printed recto-only consisting of: three sheets with the slogans "anything is possible" and "It's all the same", a sheet relating to "Capsules and Pods", a sheet entitled "Amazing Archigram", and other entitled "Living City - City Interchange and Living City - Montreal Tower 1963", all with foldcrease through centre. The magazine itself has slight wear and negligible dog-earring to the edges, rear cover working slightly loose, but otherwise complete and has been protected in a green card wrap.
