Banner: Archigram’s Instant City (1968−1970). “Instant City is precisely what its name implies: when it arrives on a site, it creates an event and then disappears, thereby signifying that architecture does not have to be a construction and can be simply an event, an action in the present.” (FRAC Center.)
