Abstract

In de laatste jaren is er veel over Aldo Rossi geschreven en is tevens ieder ontwerp van zijn hand meerdere malen geanalyseerd. Zijn architectuur en uitgangspunten worden nu verder ontwikkeld en vaak geïmiteerd door de nieuwe generatie architecten over de hele wereld. Dit boek wil op een heldere en complete wijze meer dan twintig jaar architectonische productie van Aldo Rossi samenvatten: dit niet alleen door middel van tekeningen en ontwerpen, maar ook door afbeeldingen van de gerealiseerde openbare en particuliere gebouwen, waarvan de omvang groter is dan men gewoonlijk denkt. Deze uitgave is uitgebreid met de laatste projecten van Aldo Rossi, inclusief zijn stedenbouwkundig en architectonisch ontwerp voor de Kop van Zuid in Rotterdam.

Abstract

This book looks at Aldo Rossi's work through the lens of a term often used to describe Rossi's work: melancholy. While the influence of melancholy on literature and the visual arts has been extensively studied, its presence in architecture has been largely overlooked. Exploring Rossi?s entire career, the book traces out the oscillation between enthusiasm and disenchantment that marks Rossi?s work. Through a close exploration of one of Rossi?s landmark works, the Cemetery of San Cataldo in Modena, the book shows how this brilliant, innovative architect reinterpreted a typology of the past to help us come to terms with representations of death and the deep sadness that inevitably accompanies it.

Abstract

This crucial reassessment of Aldo Rossi's (1931-1997) architecture simultaneously examines his writings, drawings, and product design, including the coffeepots and clocks he designed for the Italian firm Alessi. The first Italian to receive the Pritzker Prize, Rossi rejected modernism, seeking instead a form of architecture that could transcend the aesthetic legacy of Fascism in postwar Italy. Rossi was a visionary who did not allow contemporary trends to dominate his thinking. His baroque sensibility and poetic approach, found both in his buildings and in important texts like The Architecture of the City, inspired the critic Ada Louise Huxtable to describe him as "a poet who happens to be an architect." Diane Ghirardo explores different categories of structures-monuments, public buildings, cultural institutions, theaters, and cemeteries-drawing significantly on previously unpublished archival materials and always keeping Rossi's own texts in the forefront. By delving into the relationships among Rossi's multifaceted life, his rich body of work, and his own reflections, this book provides a critical new understanding of Rossi's buildings and the place of architecture in postwar Italy.

Abstract

Edited by Chiara Spangaro, the catalogue raisonné presents for the first time the totality of the products designed and realized by Rossi, from the first pieces of furniture produced in 1960 to 1997. The book collects about 70 objects and industrial and artisanal furniture, illustrated by the drawings, studies, and texts by Rossi, as well as the prototypes and documents relating to the collaboration between the Milanese architect-designer-theorist and the companies working with him. He experimented with forms and colors in works in metal and wood, marble and other stone, ceramics and porcelain, artisanal and industrial fabrics, and plastic materials. With Alessi, Arte, Artemide, Bruno Longoni Atelier d'arredamento, Designtex, Molteni&C, Richard-Ginori, Rosenthal, UniFor, and Up Group, Rossi created iconic furniture and "objects of affection" linked with his architecture, introducing also metaphysical and playful elements, and reflecting on the relationship between the architectural/urban scale and the one of design
