At 400 pages, this is the definitive overview of the great and influential pioneers of Italian radical architecture
The avant-garde Italian architecture collective Superstudio was founded in 1966 by Adolfo Natalini (1941-2020) and Cristiano Toraldo di Francia (1941-2019), and quickly leaped to the forefront of the 1960s radical architecture movement alongside the likes of Archigram and Haus-Rucker-Co. Through their architectural projects (housing, industrial buildings, banks, interiors), design objects, photocollages, drawings, texts, installations, models, films and exhibitions, Superstudio found brilliant and highly inventive ways in which to inhabit a world transformed by capitalist forces and technological evolutions. This beautifully produced, slipcased, 400-page volume explores their oeuvre through the lens of "migrations" (migrazioni). Borrowed from Superstudio's vocabulary, this term serves as a conceptual and poetic key to the group's architecture and their works in all mediums.
