In the 1960s architects of the ‘modern movement’ became convinced it was their responsibility to design the whole human environment and out of this concept an obligation arose the Megastructure –a vast, monumental framework of structure, transportation and services whiten which individuals or groups or whole communities would contrive their own environments. Many were planned, few were built, but for a decade the Megastructure movement was the dominant force in architecture and urbanism –on a global scale.
