Superidea

Zanotta's text follows Superstudio from the Continuous Monument through the Architecture Histograms to a Superidea, and says that path leads to the Quaderna collection, which Aurelio Zanotta was ready to turn into a myth.

A squared plane with legs

Zanotta calls the series an artificial landscape, extendable at will and neutral and strong at once, and sums it up as a single squared plane with legs.
