Megastructure is an architectural and urban concept of the post-war era, which envisions a city or an urban form that could be encased in a massive single man-made structure or a relatively small number of interconnected structures. In a megastructural project, orders and hierarchies are created with large and permanent structures supporting small and transitional ones. Megastructure was once the dominant tendency in architecture of the 1960s, which resulted in numerous radical architectural proposals and a few built projects.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Megastructure is an architectural and urban concept of the post-war era, which envisions a city or an urban form that could be encased in a massive single man-made structure or a relatively small number of interconnected structures. In a megastructural project, orders and hierarchies are created with large and permanent structures supporting small and transitional ones. According to John W. Cook and Heinrich Klotz, the lexical meaning of megastructure is an over-scaled, colossal, multi-unit architectural mass. The post-war megastructure movements led by avant-garde architectural groups such as Metabolists and Archigram regarded megastructure as an instrument to solve issues of urban disorder. Megastructure was once the dominant tendency in architecture of the 1960s, which resulted in numerous radical architectural proposals and a few built projects. (en)
  • La mégastructure est un concept architectural moderniste complexe popularisé au cours des années 1960. Elle correspond à une construction de très grandes dimensions dont le programme architectural cumule plusieurs des éléments qui composent la ville traditionnelle. La mégastructure se distingue des types architecturaux traditionnels par le rapport qui existe entre les éléments qui la compose ainsi que par le rapport qu’elle entretient avec la ville existante et ses réseaux de transport. Dans la mégastructure, ces rapports sont re-négociés selon une logique qui lui est propre et qui s’inscrit en rupture avec la tradition classique. En théorie, la configuration de la mégastructure n’est pas fixe. La mégastructure est plutôt pensée comme un modèle architectural dynamique dont l’organisation devrait pouvoir varier en fonction des modalités de son utilisation. (fr)
