Radical Architecture Across the Seas: Theories, Pedagogies, Materialities

As the 1970s turn 50 years old, the avant-garde experiments of the ‘radical’ architecture era emerge as an archive of fruitful pasts and a time-capsule of potential futures. The research and understanding of the exceptional significance of the previsions and proposals elaborated during such a time of architectural and artistic experimentation paves the way for bridging scholarly research, artistic practices, and virtual reality. On these premises, we have conceived our collaborative practice using guidelines developed by media theorist Paul Ryan in his seminal book “The Three Person Solution: Creating Sustainable Collaborative Relationships,” to develop a trans-disciplinary project.
