Abstract

In 1973, Andrea Branzi, founder of Archizoom, wrote a short review of Ivan Illichโ€™s book Deschooling Society. The review constituted the fourth of 27 โ€œRadical Notesโ€ he published in the journal Casabella between 1972 and 1976. While this was the only one explicitly to adopt the review format, Illichโ€™s presence permeates the Radical Notes as a whole. They can be read as a coherent pedagogical theory, the practical output of which was Global Tools, a counter-school promoted by Branzi and other members of the Italian Radical Movement. Branzi approached the review as an opportunity to re-view, to look again at the theses of Archizoom. His review thus sheds light on an important moment in the story of the Radicals, adding a pedagogical component to the political, Marxist roots of their critique of the nexus of city, labor and capitalism.
