Radical Design (original Italian Architettura Radicale) developed in Italy in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It used new materials and bold colours, much like 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 movement started with the Superarchitettura exhibition, held in Pistoia in 1966 and reached its climax with No-Stop City (1969) by Archizoom Associati and The Continuous Monument (1969 - 1970) by Superstudio.
The term Architettura Radicale was coined by Germano Celant in 1972.
