This week, the Hammer Museum and American Institute of Architects/Los Angeles present a talk on the “intersection of counter-cultural radicalism and Italian New Wave design in the 1960s.”*

Join professors Felicity Scott (author of Architecture or Techno-Utopia: Politics after Modernism) and Mark Wasiuta as they “explore how cutting-edge Italian design encompassed fashion, furniture, and architecture to reimagine every detail of Italian social and political life.”*
