The Archigram Archival Project as discussed in studio can be found at:

The 'Spatial Agency' book John brought to the studio and showed to you has a very good website with much of the information and many of the projects on there:

I also talked in the studio about casting models using latex. There is lots of information on the net about this and I'm sure plenty of youtube demonstrations if you search for casting latex moulds. You don't have much time left for these time-consuming techniques though so get thinking bout how you will make your maquette!
Another project I mentioned where a new infrastructure (of farming) takes over a beautiful historic context is that of John Puttick whose project can be found on the RIBA President's Medal Site:

We may add some links here to films in the near future.
If anyone has any good links to add just comment....

Maquette Examples
In case anyone didn't see the examples in the studio on Friday I have added the examples here. They are mostly sculptor's maquettes and are not meant to be definitive but rather for those of you who are struggling to imagine what a maquette might be! The idea here is to illustrate that they take many forms and vary in their choice of materials and size but most are small and nearly all are beautiful...
The first few examples are by a sculptor called Chris Wallace and the images are from his website:

He also has done some 'kinetic' maquettes:
