Peter Cook: Nibbling and Dribbling

Peter Cook: Wonder Hub invites students across all disciplines, university staff, researchers, architects, and the public to engage with the creative possibilities of ‘wonder’, exploring innovation, communication, experimental practice and drawing – as important aspects of human nature. Sir Peter Cook has been a pivotal figure within architecture for over half a century. As a founding member of the visionary group Archigram in the early 1960s, he helped establish new radical possibilities for architecture globally. Wonder Hub offers an immersive environment in which wonder becomes both a method of exploration and a space of speculative imagination. As a ‘hub’, the commission is a unique instrument – a ‘living archive’ of Cook’s prolific architectural drawing, research, and design practice. More than this, Cook sees it as a centre for the exhibition and discussion of the work of others from all over the world who broadly fit into the category of ‘Experimental Architecture’.
