Urban park competition, Modena, Italy (1970)
1969-1970
Project
The project series documents Poli and Roberto Gherardi's work for their thesis project submitted to Professor Savioli at the University of Florence School of Architecture in 1970. Poli notes that he became an official member of Superstudio after he wrote the thesis. Some works are signed Alessandro Poli-Superstudio. The project features a competition design and proposal for an urban park in Modena, Italy. The project has been published as "Park Dedicated to the Restistance" (Lang and Menking, 2003, 170-171). This title also appears on materials in this series. Reference is made to Poli's earlier project, Piper, in some of the documentation. The project was published in the magazine AD (n.6) in June, 1971.
Project contains drawings, sketches, photomontages, project documentation and the thesis text itself.

Original folder title: Modena tesi, with "immagini film" noted on the inside. Folder contains various sketches and notes, many of which are numbered, as well as the thesis text Poli and Gherardi submitted to Professor Savioli for their degree at the University of Florence in 1970. A draft of the text is also included. Photographs are also included, which appear to be of a model. The original folder, with a piece of wood along the edge, has been retained. Most of the notes and sketches appear to be in Poli's handwriting, except for a few pages which may be in Gherardi's handwriting.
