## Description

Aldo Rossi was a practicing architect and leader of the Italian architectural movement La Tendenza and one of the most influential theorists of the twentieth century. The Architecture of the City is his major work of architectural and urban theory. In part a protest against functionalism and the Modern Movement, in part an attempt to restore the craft of architecture to its position as the only valid object of architectural study, and in part an analysis of the rules and forms of the city's construction, the book has become immensely popular among architects and design students.

Review: Aldo Rossi at His Best - I enjoyed this book where Rossi laid out his argument on how architecture tells the city's history as well as creates its fabric.
Review: great condition! - I got this book a couple of days ago. It is used book but like new. I am fully satisfied for this deal.
