The idea of megastructures offers limitless possibilities for rethinking the constructed surroundings. Archigram launched its revolutionary design movement by investigating how these vast structural systems could be utilized to transform architectural spaces, functions, and whole cities. Their investigation started with a basic question: why do cities encounter constraints in ongoing spatial and structural development? This resulted in the suggestion of structures that can house various essential functions of a city within one flexible design. Archigram's oeuvre encapsulates these groundbreaking concepts, challenging the limits of traditional architecture. Diagramming was utilized as an essential method to efficiently interpret and convey their ideas, facilitating the transformation of structures into straightforward, understandable formats. This study employs diagrams not just for interpretation but also as a tool to expand Archigram's philosophies within modern architectural discussions.
