The Architecture of the City (by Aldo Rossi)

"The Architecture of the City" by Aldo Rossi explores how cities and their buildings embody the collective memory and history of a place. Rossi argues that architecture is not just about individual structures but about the urban fabric and how spaces connect and interact. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the city's historical context and its evolution over time, as well as the role of collective identity in shaping urban environments. By analyzing the relationship between architecture and memory, Rossi highlights how the built environment reflects cultural significance and impacts daily life in a city.
