Adolfo Natalini (1941) graduated in 1966, the year in which
he founded 'Superstudio' together with C. Toraldo di Francia.
Since 1973 he is professor at the faculty of Architecture
of Florence University. His oeuvre, that ranges from urban
planning to furniture design, is diverse and thought-provoking.
In the Netherlands he gained notoriety for his 'traditionalist'
design for a building complex on the main square in the town
of Groningen - a project which received massive popular support
from the inhabitants in a public referendum, much to the discontent
of a number of Dutch architectural critics. The complex was
completed in 1996. Several projects by Natalini Architetti
are currently under construction in the Netherlands.
Adolfo Natalini is responsible for the architectural vision
of the Muzenplein and the Clioplein in The Resident. Het designed
165 apartments (Andante, Adagio, Sonata, Allegro Odeon and
Parnassus) and shops encircling the horseshoe-shaped heart
of the Resident and the Clioplein.
