Cloud '68: Smiljan Radic's Collection of Radical Architecture

By: Gregory Gr?miger

Cloud '68 - Paper Voice pays homage to the European radical movements in architecture that flourished between the 1950s and '70s, experimenting across a wide range of forms and expressions. A selection of more than one hundred and fifty graphic pieces from the personal collection of Chilean architect Smiljan Radic--including lithographs, drawings, original etchings, and ephemera--captures the vast horizon of architectural approaches from those years. Organized into thirty-three panels recalling Aby Warburg's "Mnemosyne Atlas," the volume assembles groundbreaking works by Constant, Guy Debord, Asger Jorn, Haus-Rucker-Co, Archigram, Utopie, Superstudio, and more. Fragments of interviews of the artists by critic Hans Ulrich Obrist accompany the images of their strange and evocative forms. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this otherworldly and imaginative volume celebrates some of architecture's greatest avant-garde thinkers.
