- Title
I Disco Club tra architettura e Pop Art: le esperienze romane degli anni '60 e '70.
- Authors
RICIPUTO, ANNA
- Abstract
The essay proposes a critical and interpretative reading of the Disco Clubs that appeared in Rome during the 1960s and 1970s, read through the role of art - and in particular Pop Art - closely related to the experiments of the Scuola di Piazza del Popolo. The work, which originated from a larger PhD thesis in Architecture. Theory and Design at the Sapienza University of Rome, focuses on Roman nightclubs, derived from the Capolei-Cavalli studio's Piper project, designed and built by architectural duo Giusto Puri Purini and Maurizio Mariani. Less well known than the Radical Disco Clubs in Florence, these immersive spaces allowed young architects to design a new way of merging art and architecture, using "special effects" such as artificial materials, perspective, neon lights, bright colours and site-specific artworks. The scientific fortune and originality of the research lie in the large amount of biographical, iconographic, technical and photographic material held in private archives, made available to the author by the architects themselves.
