Summary:
The great Italian architect, designer, theorist and printmaker Aldo Rossi (1931–97) galvanized the postmodernist architectural movement in the middle of the 20th century with his unique synthesis of influences such as Adolf Loos, Giorgio de Chirico and Soviet architecture. From his publication Architecture of the City (1966) to his 1976 exhibition Analogous City, Rossi spent a decade developing a theory of urban design that focused on the “collective memory” of a city as an essential element of its urban planning and gave consideration to how buildings and urban areas age over time. Here, Rossi’s theory is applied to his own works from that period, both built and unbuilt, in a careful selection of 23 projects that express this memory-based paradigm of civic existence and construction. Aldo Rossi: The Urban Fact thus unifies Rossi’s theory and practice, demonstrating the visionary dimension driving his singular brand of postmodernism.

Summary:
In 1966, architect Robert Venturi published ''Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture'', a manifesto that became one of the twentieth century’s most important statements about architecture. Drawing on both vernacular and high-style sources, Venturi introduced new lessons from the buildings of architects who were well known, like Michelangelo and Alvar Aalto, and those whose work had then been forgotten, like Frank Furness and Edwin Lutyens. Arguing against the diagrammatic forms that dominated the field at that time, Venturi made a case instead for “the difficult whole.”

Summary:
La collection « Open-A » a pour ambition majeure d’explorer le potentiel de réinterprétation lié à l’histoire et à la théorie en architecture. En d’autres termes, « Open-A » vise à parcourir les récits des époques antérieures, de construire de nouvelles associations, de faire émerger de nouveaux concepts, par le biais d’une relecture du passé en vue d’une description de l’état présent de l’architecture. Le premier tome de la collection, dirigé par Xavier Van Rooyen et intitulé « Open Architecture », débute par la traduction d’une interview de Go Hasegawa, Kersten Geers et David Van Severen. Il est en outre né à partir d’un cycle de conférences (2017 – 2019) qui a regroupé des interventions de Jacques Lucan, Dominique Rouillard, Roberto Gargiani, Catherine Blain, Dirk van den Heuvel et Véronique Patteeuw. Ces conférences s’étaient ancrées dans la période des années 1960 marquée par la transition du modernisme au postmodernisme, une époque optimiste, politiquement engagée, florissante en imaginaires et en récits visuels, radicale dans sa pensée et dans la révolution qu’elle prônait.
