In 1965, a group of architecture students began to think that when they grew up they wanted to be architects. However, after experiencing the adult world (architectural and otherwise), they decided that although they wanted to be architects, they did not want to become adults. So, to make their dream come true, and following the example of Peter Pan, they built their own happy little island and called it Studio65.

These young architecture students were also painters, who painted in powerful colours. Like all young people, they loved life to the point of being ready to fight to build a more just world, where imagination and its form of expression could find a space and be appreciated. They loved American Pop Art and the films of the New American Cinema, the Nouvelle Vague and the Italian avant-garde; Carmelo Bene, the Lonesco, Beckett and the Living Theatre. They listened to rock and jazz music, and read Mayakovsky, Marcuse, Montale and Asor Rosa, Tafuri and Simone de Beauvoir.
