This book compiles the project memoirs that Aldo Rossi wrote throughout his professional career. For Rossi, writing these memoirs was an opportunity to shape reflections on a specific place, historical reality, or circumstance, employing a deeply personal narrative style imbued with the same communicative and emotional power found in his sketches and drawings. These writings offer a chance to discover the architect's thoughts on their projects and the paths taken when approaching them. As you leaf through these pages and examine the beautiful drawings—many of which are previously unpublished—it becomes possible to uncover new and unpredictable facets of the projects and works that defined Rossi's career.
