More and More

"Almost without realizing it, we have absorbed into our lives the first generation of expendables... foodbags, paper tissues, polythene wrappers, ballpens, E.P.s...so many things about which we don't have to think. We throw them away almost as soon as we acquire them.

Also with us are the items that are bigger and last longer, but are nevertheless planned for obsolescence...the motor car,...and its unit-built garage.

Now the second generation is upon us-- paper furniture is a reality in the Sates, paper sheets are a reality in British hospital beds, the Greater London Council is putting up limited-life-span houses."

-Peter Cook, Archigram 3
