, Constant Nieuwenhuys’ New Babylon and Yona Friedman’s La Ville spatiale rank among the incunabula of the 1960s. Combining visionary architecture, pop culture, art, and situationist rebellion, they became known far beyond the narrow confines of urban planning. Till now, however, there has been no exhibition dealing explicitly with megastructuralists’ vision. MEGASTRUCTURE RELOADED seeks for the first time to show them in context.

It's refreshing to see a renewed interest in the experimental architecture of this period. The recent http://www.clipstampfold.com/exhibition was a great venue that also displayed some of the radical and ingenious thinking that occurred during the 60's and 70's.
Check out the book "Exit Utopia: Architectural Provocations 1956-76." Excellent resource and some good reading.
they seem to be missing the Metabolists' megastructure designs for japan, but an exciting exhibiton nonetheless.
