11 – Aldo Rossi's Buildings – Part 1 of 2 – from the Partisans to the Cemetery

About Buildings + Cities - Un pódcast de Luke Jones & George Gingell Discuss Architecture, History and Culture

Categorías:

Aldo Rossi’s strange and elegiac early buildings – from the tiny Monument to the Partisans, to the vast, unfinished cemetery at Modena – set him on a path toward the widespread fame and influence he would achieve during the 1980s. In many ways, his architectural vision seems to arrive already fully formed – the strange geometry, the stripped down, abstracted versions of familiar types. We explore these varied works, and how his ideas he was formulating about urban memory and history became works of architecture.
