On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the Kunsthaus Graz, the Haus der Architektur (HDA) is presenting “Speculations,” an exhibition of drawings and spatial objects by the British architect Peter Cook. His construction of the “friendly alien,” which he realised together with Colin Fournier in 2003, has attracted great attention worldwide, and has developed, as one of Graz’s most significant buildings, to a new architectural landmark of the city. On the opening day of the exhibition, October 22, we are also celebrating Sir Peter Cooks eighty-seventh birthday.
Cook became known as a co-founder of Archigram in the 1960s. Already at that time, hand-made drawings were the stylistic and expressive means of the neo-futurist group. To this day, he uses colourful, imaginative depictions that show landscapes, cities, and buildings from a wide variety of perspectives. The exhibition shows selected drawings from his new book Speculations, published by Circa Verlag.
