L’architettura della città

by Rossi Aldo
L’architettura della città

Firstly published in 1966, this book is a landmark in the history of architecture. Aldo Rossi reshapes urbanism and the whole idea of what a city should be: driving away from functionalism and rejecting the idea that a city is just the sum of its functions, Rossi explores the idea of shape, and of the city as a community. Architecture becomes a collective act, in which two human needs come together: aesthetic beauty and the necessity to build an environment suitable to life. This alchemy generates real, livable spaces: roads to travel, buildings to live in, monuments in which to deposit identities. This city, so animated and so human, emerges from time, and reshapes tradition to make in functional.
