Radical period (design)

Radical period (design)

In Italy, in the second part of the 1960s, the Design avant-gardes entered a new period of construction named "Radical".

Probably the most notorious result of such avant-garde period is the very famous installation called "Superarchitettura", made in Pistoia in [1966.

Within the Italian design framework and action environment, Superarchitettura literally triggered the Radical Period.
