Michael Webb (architect)

Webb was born in Henley-on-Thames and studied architecture at the Regent Street Polytechnic in London, taking seventeen years to complete a five-year curriculum.

[1] He was a founding member of the 1960s Archigram Group, a collection of six young radical architects.

They used a magazine format, Archigram inflatable structures, clothing-like environments, bright colors and cartoon-like drawing techniques.

His latest exhibition, Two Journeys, opened in the fall semester, giving Webb an opportunity for students to learn about him and his work.

It centered on two main themes: a train of thought deriving from the Reyner Banham article A Home is not a House (1965) and a study of linear perspective projection.
