SUPERSTUDIO The Middelburg Lectures

Superstudio triggers great nostalgia among modern architecture students.
One reason for this is the architecture group s great feeling for style and aesthetics which has,
forty years later ,lost none of its appeal.Another reason for Superstudio's successes its perceived
radical purity in comparison with the many politically neutral historicist trends of today.
In this perception, the career of Adolfo Natalini uncomfortably bridges the gap between the two extremes.
He is both a founding member of Superstudio and one of the most successful historicist architects building
in the Netherlands today.This book, with essays by Adolfo Natalini,Peter Lang,Hans Ibelings,and Hilde
Heynen,situates Superstudio in the history of radical architecture .
