Architectural firm (1966 78)
Superstudio was an architectural firm, founded in 1966 in Florence, Italy by Adolfo Natalini and it. Gian Piero Frassinelli, Alessandro, and Roberto Magris, Alessandro Poli later joined.

Superstudio was a major part of the Radical architecture and design movement of the late 1960s. The founders had studied at the University of Florence with Archizoom Associati founder Andrea Branzi and first showed their work in the Superarchitettura show in 1966. This exhibition became the manifesto of the Radical Design movement. In 1967, Natalini established three categories of future research: “architecture of the monument”, “architecture of the image”, and “technomorphic architecture”. In 1969, Superstudio presented one of its most famous conceptual architecture works – Continuous Monument: An Architectural Model for Total Urbanization. Their anti architectural proposals used grid systems as a way to mediate space. Continuous Monument represented a critique of the urban planning at that time. Superstudio took part in the MoMA exhibition "Italy: The New Domestic Landscape" (1972). Critics agree that the work of Superstudio was influential, or even entirely inspirational to, among others, architects like Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas and Bernard Tschumi. Evidence of this is notable when one considers that the use of strong symmetrical line work and geometric form; mediums utilized by all of these architects, became staples of Superstudio's. Furthermore, Superstudio's penchant for envisioning immense, entirely aspirational mega structures is a trait visible in the early work of architects such as Hadid and Koolhaas. Jonathon Keats sees the project for The Line, Saudi Arabia as inspired by the Continuous Monument without its satiric and anti capitalist elements. Superstudio was disbanded in 1978, but its members continued to develop their ideas independently through their writings, via education, architectural practice and other design projects.
