Reyner Banham’s seminal 1976 study examines the rise and decline of the megastructure, an architectural movement defined by vast, adaptable urban edifices. Through rigorous historical analysis, the text explores how these colossal, multi-use frameworks captured the imagination of architects and filmmakers alike during the 1960s. This reprint documents the movement's ambitious origins, its brief period of experimentation, and its enduring influence on contemporary urban theory.
