Abstract In Italy there is a revival of the spirit of 1960s Radicalism. Fresh from university, young architects ‘pick up a rock band name, enrol in an architectural competition or just invent their own research and project installations’. William Menking, who co‐curated the 2003 exhibition at London's Design Museum on Superstudio ‐ the supergroup of Italian radicali ‐ and Olympia Kazi bring the new generation of young protagonists under scrutiny.
