Radical Design (original Italian Architettura Radicale) developed in Italy in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It used new materials and bold colours, ust as Pop Art did. It also drew on historical styles such as art deco, kitsch, and surrealism, while at the same time questioning modernist design and architecture. Key groups and designers of the Radical style include Superstudio, Archizoom Associati, UFO, Gruppo Strum, and Ettore Sottsass.
The term was coined by Germano Celant in 1972.
Probably the most notorious result of such avant-garde period is installation called "Superarchitettura", made in Pistoia in 1966.
