Summary:
Aldo Rossi, a practicing architect and leader of the Italian architectural movement La Tendenza, is also one of the most influential theorists writing today. The Architecture of the City is his major work of architectural and urban theory. In part a protest against functionalism and the Modern Movement, in part an attempt to restore the craft of architecture to its position as the only valid object of architectural study, and in part an analysis of the rules and forms of the city's construction, the book has become immensely popular among architects and design students.

Summary:
Les écrits d'Aldo Rossi sont indissociables de son oeuvre graphique et architecturale. Cette autobiographie ne constitue pas un simple retour sur soi ou une abstraction théorique mais bien une création littéraire puisant dans l'imaginaire architectonique. Le dialogue qu'établit Rossi avec son propre passé et son travail, mêlant souvenirs d'enfance et réflexions philosophiques sur l'architecture, révèle ses principales, influences artistiques et littéraires, sa fascination pour la répétition, le collage, les transpositions ou son obsession pour le théâtre. L'écriture de Rossi est comme son architecture : nostalgique, austère, subtile et incisive à la fois, élégiaque.

Summary:
This revealing memoir by Aldo Rossi (1937–1997) intermingles discussions of Rossi's architectural projects—including the major literary and artistic influences on his work—with his personal history. Drawn from notebooks Rossi kept beginning in 1971, these ruminations and reflections range from his obsession with theater to his concept of architecture as ritual. The book originally appeared as one of the landmark titles in the MIT Press's Oppositions Books series, but has been out of print for many years. This newly issued paperback reprint includes illustrations—photographs, evocative images, and a set of drawings of Rossi's major architectural projects—selected by the author himself to augment the text.
