Compiled by Fluxus artists Wolf Vostell and Dick Higgins, and first published by Higgins' legendary Something Else Press in 1970, "Fantastic Architecture" anticipated the critiques launched by a new generation of visionary architects in the 1970s. In his introduction, Higgins argued that "architects have only just begun to escape from the drawing board mentality," and articulated the need for "creating space, which may or may not be functional, but which is "at least" relevant to the sensory environment in which we live. The economics of building has led to an aridity in our experience which is not consistent with the richness of our time." Against this, Higgins and Vostell advocate the approach of polymath artists such as Kurt Schwitters, Raoul Hausmann, Erich Buchholz, John Cage and Buckminster Fuller.
Originally published in German in 1969 by Droste Verlag under the title: Pop Architektur.
Text in English, translated from the German.

Résumé:

Primary Information is reprinting the seminal book, Fantastic Architecture, making the book widely available for the first time since it was originally published: first in 1969 by Droste Verlag in German (with the title Pop Architektur) and later in 1970 by Something Else Press as Fantastic Architecture. Edited by Dick Higgins and Wolf Vostell, this artist's book/anthology explores the boundaries between pop art and architecture through writings and projects by key artists and thinkers of the 1960s and earlier-from John Cage and Buckminster Fuller to Kurt Schwitters and Joseph Beuys. It will retain the book's unique design, specifically its Mylar inserts, which add unique depth and elaborate the publication's content.
