For the benefit of the English reader, all foreign quotations are followed by an English translation.
This architectural monograph provides a critical study of Aldo Rossi, a leading Italian architect and one of the most successful architects of the post-modernist period. An historical analysis of Rossi's work is presented as the author explores the source material, and projects and buildings of the period 1965-1992 are examined. The book is illustrated throughout and includes a reappraisal of nine recent projects.
