Amazing conceptual architecture
Superstudio
Just taking a moment to enjoy the amazing conceptural architecture of Superstudio. Care to join me?
Superstudio was created in Florence in 1966 by a group of talented, radical young architects. The studio was at the heart of the architectural and design avant garde until its dissolution in the late 1970s. Through photo-collages, films, and exhibitions, it critiqued the modernist doctrines that had dominated 20th century design thinking. The studio was composed by: Piero Frassinelli, Alessandro Magris, Adolfo Natalini, Alessandro Poli, Cristiano Toraldo di Francia.
Love it!
