Architectural designSummary: Reverence for visionary avant‐garde architectures risks reducing them to a relic‐like, static status. How can their agency instead be kept alive? Drawing on the writings of historians and theorists Adrian Forty, Dario Gamboni and Rebecca Schneider, Guest‐Editor Matthew Butcher explores re‐enactment operating as a form of iconoclasm to continue the memory of avant‐garde ideals. His own recent speculative architectural projects, inspired by Italian Radical practice Superstudio and architect Raimund Abraham's work from the 1970s, embody this approach.
