About this Item

First edition of this scholarly study of the influential Florentine avant-garde architectural collective Superstudio, a driving force in the Radical architecture and design movement of the late 1960 s and early 1970 s. Published by Skira in 2003 to coincide with an exhibition held at the Design Museum, London, and at Pratt and The Artist s Space in New York. With historical essays by Peter Lang and William Menking, along with contributions from three Superstudio principals: Adolfo Natalini, Cristiano Toraldo di Francia, and Piero Frassinelli. 8vo, stiff pictorial wrappers, 231 pages, lavishly illustrated with the sleek imagery at once dystopian and seductive--produced by the group for its various experimental projects that mocked, critiqued and challenged consumer culture, capitalism, and modernist orthodoxy. Gentle bumping to extremities.
