The city is where Italian radical architecture represented and experimented its theories. While the early projects remained theoretical proposals, some contributions by Archizoom, Superstudio, or Strum established an ambiguous relationship with design that became crucial after the international exhibition "Italy: the new domestic landscape", curated by Emilio Ambasz at(...)

Summary:
The city is where Italian radical architecture represented and experimented its theories. While the early projects remained theoretical proposals, some contributions by Archizoom, Superstudio, or Strum established an ambiguous relationship with design that became crucial after the international exhibition "Italy: the new domestic landscape", curated by Emilio Ambasz at the Museum of Modern Art New York in 1972. With the exception of Zziggurat, all participants, such as UFO, Gianni Pettena, Ugo La Pietra and 9999, chose the "piazza" - the public space - for their theoretical and practical experimentation as the adequate venue for installations and performances that used the same language as that of artists.

Artista, architetto e design, Pettena fu, alla fine degli anni sessanta, uno dei più prolifici rappresentanti dell'architettura radicale, un movimento europeo nato in Italia che mise in discussione l'identità dell'architettura come arte del costruire, mirando a ridefinire l'intera disciplina e riunendo un gran numero di personalità, da Ettore Sottsass jr. ad Alessandro Mendini, da Superstudio ad Archizoom Associati. Artista che ricorre al linguaggio dell'architettura e architetto che si appropria della logica artistica, Pettena ama passare da un campo all'altro, rifiutando qualsiasi barriera disciplinare e definendosi piuttosto "anarchitetto".

''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.

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.

Summary:
We all know Denmark is the happiest country in the world—but this doesn't make it pe?rfect. Happiness isn't exclusively Danish. Nor is it just eating pastries, lighting candles, and practising hygge. Happiness is something available to all, wherever you are, and whatever your means. Starting from the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, Meik Wiking, probably the happiest man in the world, travels across the globe on a quest to uncover the secrets of the very happiest people from Dubai to Rio de Janeiro, taking back to his native country their tips, tricks, and unique approaches to a fulfilled life. Exploring the happiness gap for parents, how much money you really need to buy happiness, and why—luckily for us—the expectation of kissing Rachel Weiss is better than the real thing, Meik brings together a global roadmap for happiness with his trademark wit. Weaving together original research and personal anecdotes, The Little Book of Lykke gives us a new approach to achieving everyday happiness.

Summary:

Drawing from extensive interviews with pivotal architects—from Philip Johnson, who was among the first to introduce European modernism to America, to Peter Eisenman, identified with a new "deconstructionist" style—she analyzes the complex tensions that exist between economic interest, professional status, and architectural product. She investigates the symbolic awards and recognition accorded by prestigious journals and panels, exposing the inner workings of a profession in a precarious social position. Larson captures the struggles around status, place, and power as architects seek to redefine their very purpose in contemporary America.
