Description:
Project series documents Poli's design and development work on the Supersurface project created with Superstudio in 1972. Part of Superstudio's project, "Five Fundamental Acts: Life, Education, Ceremony, Love and Death", included films created on each theme, Supersurface was the first in the series ("Life"), and was shown at the 1972 exhibition "Italy: The New Domestic Landscape, Achievements and Problems in Italian Design" at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. The final film had a running time of 15 minutes and was shot in colour on 16 mm film. Material predominantly includes project drawings, collages and sketches, along with a textual and drawn storyboard for the film. The storyboard was sent in a folder made by Poli, which has been retained as part of the fonds. Material in the folder has been kept in the order in which Poli transferred it. Of note are also 3 larger drawings, one of which is a collage of photos featuring Poli, and another is an immense brightly-coloured collage of a young woman on the edge of a sea with a machine floating beaming down on her. These drawings have been signed Alessandro Poli-Superstudio. Also included is a copy of "L'Espresso" magazine dated 4 June 1972 (no. 23), featuring Umberto Eco's article "Dal cucchiaio alla città".

This project series features drawings and text, as well as collages on photographs, for a project entitled "Breve racconto di Architettura" by Poli. An inventory provided by Poli was used to identify the dates of these materials. The drawings and text seem to feature a journey on a highway (autostrada), or by plane, as all of the collaged images seem to be views taken from an airplane. These collages feature images of food and structures glued onto images of both rural and urban landscapes. References are made in the text to the Parco urbano Modena, possibly related to Poli's thesis project (see AP148.S1.1970.PR01), as well as to Roland Barthes, and "architettura invisibile".

Description:
Project series documents Poli's design for a Cone table, also called "Mizar" table, which was produced for Superstudio by Crystal Art in 1973. Poli dates this project as being from 1971-1973, however, some drawings appear to be dated 1979. Material in this series features mainly sketches and drawings, many brightly coloured, some done in blue ink, and one large drawing in white on black cardstock. Not all notations appear to be in Poli's hand. One drawing also features an image (which appears to be a cut-out). The series also includes a model or prototype of the table design in glass and ceramic. A sketchbook with drawings related to this project has been catalogued with material from the Lamp for Flos project (see project AP148.S1.1971.PR02) - Poli notes that 48 pages of this red sketchbook feature drawings related to the Cone table project.

Description:
Project series documents Poli's research and design work on his major project about a peasant farmer named Zeno from Riparbella. This project, entitled "Zeno, una cultura autosufficiente," was presented at the 1978 Venice Biennale with Superstudio as "La Coscienza di Zeno (Zeno's consciousness)". The project also appears to have some overlap with another research project in which Poli and other members of Superstudio were involved: Culture materiale extraurbane. This involved research and the development of a course in the architecture programme at the University of Florence on research into traditional tools and other aspects of rural material culture. The research work on rural culture was published in the magazine Modo (no.7) in March 1978. The Zeno project reflects a major project in Poli's output, with work beginning on it in 1972 and into 1980. There are numerous narratives at work in this project. There is the narrative of Zeno's relationship to the small house built by his grandfather and in which he was born, and has always lived. Alongside this, is Poli's interest in Zeno's relationship to his tools, his clothes, all the material elements of his life in the only house he has ever known. The fictional narrative that Poli weaves into this project involves an imagined encounter between Zeno and astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Poli's fascination with Zeno's material culture extends into a comparison of these two men and their physical interactions with their worlds: both self-sufficient capsules of a kind. Material in this project includes a large number of drawings and collages depicting different domestic and working spaces and tools in Zeno's life. A number of these drawings feature artefacts, such as cloth pillowcases, metal pieces, and a rope. In addition, the project series includes a number of physical artefacts, such as tools and even Zeno's door. A notable element in this series is an artist book by Poli which features a catalogue or register of elements in Zeno's life, detailing everything about his spaces, his working days, and even the food he eats.

Project series documents Poli's research and design work on his major project about a peasant farmer named Zeno from Riparbella. This project, entitled "Zeno, una cultura autosufficiente," was presented at the 1978 Venice Biennale with Superstudio as "La Coscienza di Zeno (Zeno's consciousness)". The project also appears to have some overlap with another research project in which Poli and other members of Superstudio were involved: Culture materiale extraurbane. This involved research and the development of a course in the architecture programme at the University of Florence on research into traditional tools and other aspects of rural material culture. The research work on rural culture was published in the magazine Modo (no.7) in March 1978. The Zeno project reflects a major project in Poli's output, with work beginning on it in 1972 and into 1980. There are numerous narratives at work in this project. There is the narrative of Zeno's relationship to the small house built by his grandfather and in which he was born, and has always lived. Alongside this, is Poli's interest in Zeno's relationship to his tools, his clothes, all the material elements of his life in the only house he has ever known. The fictional narrative that Poli weaves into this project involves an imagined encounter between Zeno and astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Poli's fascination with Zeno's material culture extends into a comparison of these two men and their physical interactions with their worlds: both self-sufficient capsules of a kind. Material in this project includes a large number of drawings and collages depicting different domestic and working spaces and tools in Zeno's life. A number of these drawings feature artefacts, such as cloth pillowcases, metal pieces, and a rope. In addition, the project series includes a number of physical artefacts, such as tools and even Zeno's door. A notable element in this series is an artist book by Poli which features a catalogue or register of elements in Zeno's life, detailing everything about his spaces, his working days, and even the food he eats.
