Hotel il Palazzo

A Day in the Life of God, or Thereabouts.

"One can say that the city itself is the collective memory of its people, and like memory, it is associated with objects and places. The city is the locus of the collective memory. This relationship between the locus and the citizenry then becomes the city's predominant image, both of architecture and of landscape, and as certain artifacts become part of its memory, new ones emerge." - Aldo Rossi, The Architecture of the City, pg. 130

Over the course of the 20th century, the Italian designer and architect Aldo Rossi left his mark on everything from coffeepots to Venice’s La Fenice opera house. ⁠ ⁠ 'Aldo Rossi: Design 1960–1997,' his catalogue raisonné, is now being published by @silvanaeditoriale to follow a recent retrospective at the @museodel900 in Milan. Before his death, in 1997 at age 66, Rossi had created more than 70 furnishings and objects, many of which are still in production today. Highlights include his housewares—teakettles, dishes, clocks, lamps—as well as his architectural drawings for various theaters. Most impressive is Rossi’s “Tea & Coffee Piazza” series, reminiscent of the castles and minarets he’d envisioned as a child.⁠ ⁠ Read an excellent review of the Rossi raisonné by @elenaclavarino at @airmailweekly via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ #aldorossi #aldorossicatalogueraisonne #italiandesign #midcenturydesign #midcenturymodern https://www.instagram.com/p/CnSWn0qJH6X/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Town Hall of Muggiò, Italy, Design Sketch, Aldo Rossi, 1972, Art Institute of Chicago: Architecture and Design

Italian architect Aldo Rossi was a major figure in the Tendenza, or neo-rationalist school of architecture, in the late 1960s and 1970s. Filtered through the language and discipline of architecture, Rossi’s study of historical cities and “urban artifacts” informed remarkable designs based on primary geometric forms. Like the cube and hemisphere that populate his famous design for the Modena Cemetery, Rossi’s competition drawing for a new municipal building in the town of Muggiò, Italy, proposes a similar play of geometric solids, featuring a gridded structure that is split in two by a truncated cone. These forms refer to historical elements of the town, including the palatial blocks at the town center and a neoclassical villa in a local park. However, Rossi’s design is not reducible to a simple abstraction of existing buildings, as he understood architectural types as the embodiment of a complex network of social and political histories from his country’s past.

Parigi armchair by Aldo Rossi (1989) for Unifor

What surprises me most in architecture, as in other techniques, is that a project has one life in its built state but another in its written or drawn state. Aldo Rossi

"Each time we find ourselves in the presence of real urban artifacts we realize their complexity, and this structural complexity overcomes any narrow interpretation based on function."
