This book takes that artifact to the next step, asking a group of artists and writers whether perhaps the museum should be planning a branch on the moon itself in the future. This thought-provoking little book riffs on the themes of space travel and colonization, with texts on site-specificity, history, space law and its global implications. Also included is a list of almost 800 songs which have the word "moon" in their title. In a world where eager buyers trade "moon lots" on the internet, is the whole idea of a moon museum so far fetched?

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.
