Unidentified Flying Object for Contemporary Architecture
The first monographic publication focused on the Florentine UFO group (1968-1978), that conducts a historical analysis of its work, reveals its close relationship with the contemporary artistic, literary and architectural avant-garde and, finally, investigates its legacy for the contemporary project. The contemporary context is defined by a unique conjuncture.

SuperDesign
SuperDesign charts the Italian Radicals’ bold experimentation in modern design from its birth through its continued influence on design today.

Rather than reducing architecture to mere style or an overt emphasis on technology, it foregrounds the experiential dimension of architecture. Narrative Architecture explores the potential for narrative as a way of interpreting buildings from ancient history through to the present, deals with architectural background, analysis and practice as well as its future development. Authored by Nigel Coates, a foremost figure ...
Radical Utopias. Archizoom, Remo Buti, 9999, Gianni Pettena, Superstudio, UFO, Zziggurat
This volume is published in conjunction with an exhibition presenting the radical architects and architect groups who emerged in Florence in the late 1960s. It was a period characterised by crisis in the city, which extended to the wider political and social tension occurring throughout Italy. The related writings, drawings, and projects produced by these seven actors - Archizoom, Remo Buti, 9999, Gianni Pettena, Superstudio, UFO, and Zziggurat - have influenced generations of architects, historians, designers, and artists around the world. For the first time, all of their theoretical and visual work has been compiled in a single publication, giving renewed insight into their movement.
