Superstudio and the “Refusal to Work”
The Italian Radical Architecture collective Superstudio was infamous for their refusal to participate in architectural design. Their muteness was directed, however: they did not wish to secede entirely from architectural discourse, it was building from which they withdrew. This essay investigates Superstudio’s negation alongside Italian leftist attempts to recast the meaning of work. From the alienation of assembly line production to a more holistic form of labor, this shift in the nature of work privileged the individual sovereignty of citizens and workers. This emphasis on creative autonomy informs a new reading of Superstudio’s Supersurface as well as their Histograms.
