10 – Aldo Rossi's 'The Architecture of the City' – Interrupted Destiny
About Buildings + Cities - Podcast autorstwa Luke Jones & George Gingell Discuss Architecture, History and Culture
Kategorie:
A valiant attempt to understand Aldo Rossi's 1966 'L'Architettura della Citta', a book which both Luke & George have owned for years, but which neither have actually read until now (the pictures are nice, and the spine is an attractive orange colour).
Aldo Rossi's celebrity began with this book, and a certain mythic image of him – gloomy, nostalgic, perverse – is widely recognised within architectural history. But what does the book actually say? We explore monuments, urban artifacts, fragments of the city, the persistence of time and memory; and the promise of a new 'science' of urban analysis.
