aldo rossi appreciation post


This drawing is actually the only thing towers of ilium appreciates about Rossi. His built work exemplifies the worst of post modern excesses, and the completed project for San Cataldo is underwhelming. But this image captures a spirit of architecture that can never be experienced in the built form. It would be more appropriate to chisel this on a stone wall so that an archaeologist from the year 3000 could spend a lifetime interpreting it.
