Superstudio as Super‐Office: The Labour of Radical Design
Key avant‐garde players are often assumed to be divorced from the reality of practice. In the case of Superstudio, this assumption is wildly inaccurate. William Menking, co‐founder and Editor‐in‐Chief of The Architect's Newspaper and Professor at Pratt Institute, New York, co‐organised the 2003 exhibition ‘Superstudio: Life Without Objects’ with Peter Lang. Here he puts right some myths about the nature of this well‐known but much‐misunderstood Florentine collaborative, setting it in the context of the intellectual and industrial climate of 1960s Italy, and exploring how its approach can inspire those seeking to rethink practice today.
