Archizoom, Florence, Italy, 1966

“Archizoom was founded 1966 in FlorenceItaly, by four architects: Andrea Branzi, Gilberto Corretti, Paolo Deganello, Massimo Morozzi; and two designers: Dario Bartolini and Lucia Bartolini. Together with Superstudio, Archizoom invented "Superarchitecture”, endorsing creative processes along the lines of Pop in architectural and design development, exemplified by objects such as the “Superonda”-sofa, (still made by poltronova) which invites unconventional postures by its waved shape. The research of Archizoom culminates in « No-Stop-City », one of the most enigmatic and radical visions of the city of the future; without boundaries, artificially lit and air-conditioned. To use and populate No-stop-City’s continuous surfaces Archizoom conceived and realized multifunctional furniture and clothing for the inhabitants of the highly artificial environment.“
