In total 11 oblong sheets (25.4 x 40.5cm), printed in various colours of ink on various colours of stock, stapled at one side and folded once to make a booklet, one sheet with the (unused) packet of night-scented stock still stapled to it. 'No longer do the marvels of technology have to be declaimed as a dramatic or wonderful or even a particularly significant thing any more. The world can be complex but could be relaxed as well.' In the light of conversations 'in cities spread far apart' about 'effort, survival, infiltration, and the increasing irrelevancy of "nice design"', this issue offers things to do: 'things to make, things to read, things to comment upon, things to plant and to grow, things to be mailed back to us'. Contents include the introduction of the 'Archizones' project ('Archigram's International Interchange'), the 'instant city', Dreams Come True Inc, the Room of 1000 Delights, the Medikit project, Osakagram, Arata Isozaki, and in general 'Gardening and the easing of tension between the mechanical and the natural'. Contributors include Tony Rickaby (plus the cover), Ron Herron, Mike Webb, David Greene, and Cook. Slightly rubbed, the first few corners somewhat creased/dog-eared, the lower corner with a tiny nick, the whole with a mild vertical bend which has little impact, particularly inside, the staples a touch rusty, and outwardly a little shelfworn in general, with the occasional spot or small mark. Loosely inserted are a flyer for An Instant City Workshop in Nottingham and a leaflet for 'Architectural Design' ('AD') magazine.

First Edition. 20 x 14cm. Side-stapled paperback, unpaginated [22pp, including 2-fold outs pages]. Some text overcropped, as usual. Pages printed recto only. Cover designed by Rae and Ben Fether. Introduces architectural, artistic and highly idealised imagined concepts of 'crust' and 'eruption' as applied to design, culminating in the design for 'The Molehill': "a build-up of crust that embraces the inter-activity within". This is then juxtaposed with 'The Cluster'. The diagonal direction is also examined as a crucial consideration for designing multi-level cities. Includes 'Computor City: A Synthesised Metropolis with Electronic Changeability' imagining a computer-mediated metropolis. Replete with counter-cultural and contemporary popular culture symbolism. Some scuffing to the front cover's upper staple. Otherwise very good condition.
