A Scientific Autobiography

Architect and writer Aldo Rossi (1930–1999) belongs to the most significant postmodern architects. Since the very beginning, he was noted with a unique expression consisting in simple geometric shapes and rational solutions. He designed mostly schools, terraced houses, museums and galleries. This book unites his travel experiences and impressions connected with exploration of various cultural phenomena with the process of his thinking and planning.  This unusual symbiosis makes this book an exceptional key to understanding of Rossi’s work as well as the context of postmodern architecture.
