SPECIAL NOTE
Archizoom Associati, founded in Florence in 1966, was a design studio comprised of architects and designers Andrea Branzi, Gilberto Corretti, Paolo Deganello, and Massimo Morozzi, later joined by Dario and Lucia Bartolini in 1968. Archizoomgained attention with the "Superarchitettura" exhibition in 1966, co-hosted with Superstudio. Active until 1974, Archizoom's exhibitions such as "Super Architettura 2" and "Modena" in 1967 showcased eclectic and kitsch designs.Their visionary project "No-Stop City" proposed a boundaryless, continuously evolving metropolis, promoting flexible interiors and a rejection of traditional urban design.Archizoom's blend of Pop Art influences and avant-garde concepts redefined design and architecture.
