The recent collaboration between Gian Piero Frassinelli – founder of the Florentine collective Superstudio – and 2A+P/A an architectural practice based in Rome – relaunched a long-established, yet generally overlooked, debate on the relationship between architecture and anthropology.

Summary:
The recent collaboration between Gian Piero Frassinelli – founder of the Florentine collective Superstudio – and 2A+P/A an architectural practice based in Rome – relaunched a long-established, yet generally overlooked, debate on the relationship between architecture and anthropology. Moving away from a historical or scientific perspective to embrace the point of view of the project, the exhibition Savage Architecture genealogically reconstructs the ethos of such collaboration in four episodes. The outcome is a journey through the imaginative potential of the anthropological gaze in constructing both meaning and a method for the architectural project as an alternative to the dominant belief in the economic and technological reasons.

The Fundamental Acts propose a collective reformulation of five great themes of the human existence – Life, Education, Ceremony, Love and Death. They were conceived by Superstudio as a series of films centered on the relationship between architecture and the acts of human life.

Summary:
The Fundamental Acts propose a collective reformulation of five great themes of the human existence – Life, Education, Ceremony, Love and Death. They were conceived by Superstudio as a series of films centered on the relationship between architecture and the acts of human life. The films were sketched in storyboard format and later published as a series of documents on the pages of Casabella magazine. The Fundamental Acts contain the possibility of reintroducing a discourse on the relationship between architecture and ritual. They have been (re)produced by a group of international contributors and the documents submitted have been collected in this book.

Summary:
Le moment est venu d’archiver l’« architecture radicale ». Mais cela signifie de considérer ce moment comme le chapitre clé d’une trajectoire culturelle qui porte un autre titre : celui d’une architecture rationaliste comprise comme l’une des composantes du Mouvement moderne les plus expérimentales : machine à habiter, existenzminimum, less is more, etc. En se cantonnant à la période comprise entre mars et décembre 1969, Gargiani et Lampariello offrent ici une généalogie serrée du groupe Superstudio à travers leur iconique projet de Monument Continu. Les deux historiens reviennent sur leurs territoires philosophiques et mystiques, mais aussi sur ce qui rendit énigmatique et si fascinant leur hyper-rationalisme dans une époque de profonde rénovation sociale.

Summary:
Radical Utopias is the title of an exhibition that presents each of the Florentine radical architects half a century after their movement began. Emerging during a fertile moment of crisis, a period marked by the tragic flood in Florence in 1966, and characterized, throughout Italy, by strong political and social tension, but also by great artistic and linguistic renewal, the works of Archizoom, Remo Buti, 9999, Gianni Pettena, Superstudio, UFO, and Zziggurat can be seen in the major museums around the world. The writings, drawings, and projects of the seven protagonists are still in circulation and have influenced generations of architects, historians, designers and artists from many countries. This is, therefore, the first book ever to offer readers the chance to view all their theoretical and visual work.

Summary:
''Utopie Radicali'' è il titolo della mostra che presenta le opere degli architetti radicali fiorentini a più di mezzo secolo di distanza dai loro esordi. Nati in un fecondo momento di crisi, in un periodo segnato, a Firenze, dalla tragica alluvione del 1966, e caratterizzato, in tutta Italia, da forti tensioni politiche e sociali ma anche da un grande rinnovamento artistico e linguistico, i lavori di Archizoom, Remo Buti, 9999, Gianni Pettena, Superstudio, UFO, Zziggurat sono oggi presenti nei principali musei del mondo. Gli scritti, i disegni e i progetti dei sette protagonisti godono infatti tuttora di una capillare diffusione, e hanno influenzato più di una generazione di architetti, storici, designer e artisti in moltissimi paesi. Questo volume offre per la prima volta la possibilità di conoscerne l’opera teorica e visiva, e, grazie a un’accurata ricostruzione del contesto in cui poté svilupparsi, restituisce uno spaccato unico e in larga parte ancora inesplorato di una capitale dell’architettura del secondo Novecento.
