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public buildings, cultural institutions, theaters, and cemeteries-drawing significantly on previously unpublished archival materials and always keeping Rossi's own texts in the forefront.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

Depuis la mise en question du mouvement moderne à la fin des années 1960, l'architecture a suivi des voies très divergentes et le terme postmodernisme, utilisé pour la première fois en architecture vers 1975, recouvre aujourd'hui des significations multiples. Dans la volonté de se dégager du cadre jugé trop étroit du modernisme, le postmodernisme prône un retour à des modèles traditionnels, un langage plus accessible et une approche souvent ludique, que singularise en particulier le recours à l'ornement. Tout en ébauchant un vaste tour d'horizon des édifices construits ces dernières années, Diane Ghirardo concentre son essai sur plusieurs "mégaprojets" spécifiques - l'empire Disney et ses parcs de loisirs, l'IBA à Berlin et les docks à Londres considérés comme autant de lieux exemplaires des nouvelles tendances. S'articulant autour de trois types d'espace - public, privé et urbain -, cet ouvrage analyse des théories développées dans un contexte social et politique déterminant et dresse un panorama fascinant de l'univers architectural du dernier quart de ce siècle. Diane Ghirardo est professeur d'architecture à l'université de Southern California à Los Angeles depuis 1984. Elle a collaboré à la création du magazine Archétype, a occupé les fonctions de rédactrice en chef du Journal of Architectural Education et est l'auteur; nombreux articles et ouvrages, dont Out of Site: A Social Criticism of Architecture publié en 1991.

Abstract

The contributors to this volume challenge and help to define a perception of architecture that considers what architecture should be, what it does, and how it is involved in our lives.
