About

Professor Sir Peter Cook, founder of Archigram, Director of the Institute for Contemporary Art, London (1970-1972) and Chair of the Bartlett School of Architecture at University College London (1990-2006), has been a pivotal figure within the global architectural world for over half a century. Cook has built worldwide. With Archigram, he received the RIBA Royal Gold Medal in 2002, and in 2007, he was knighted by the Queen for his services to architecture. His continuing lecture and architecture works make him a familiar voice internationally, where many have enjoyed an opportunity to hear Cook expound (among other subjects) upon his love affair with the slithering, the swarming and the spooky.
