On the 26th of February 2016 the project Savage Architecture — an exhibition at Architectural Association of London and a book published by Black Square both curated by Davide Sacconi — will be presented in a symposium at the Italian Cultural Institute of London. The project recounts the research at the intersection between architecture and anthropology developed in the last fifty years by Gian Piero Frassinelli (former member of Superstudio) and his recent collaboration with 2A+P/A (architectural practice based in Rome).
During the symposium Frassinelli and 2A+P/A (Gianfranco Bombaci and Matteo Costanzo) will discuss the project together with Jacopo Benci (British School at Rome), Markus Lahteenmaki (Drawing Matter Foundation) and Sam Jacob (Sam Jacob Studio); a unique opportunity to explore Frassinelli’s important role within the famous Florentine collective and to debate from different angles the long lasting influences and the operative potential of Superstudio’s work in the contemporary condition.
