Aldo Rossi

The work of Aldo Rossi is often categorized as postmodern, but one could argue that this is an inadequate designation. Just as Loos can be identified as protomodern due to the outward appearance of his façades, the use of symmetry and primary forms in Rossi tends to be interpreted as aligning with the classicizing tendencies of the postmodern. However, a close reading suggests a much greater dissonance between Rossi and his historical context, coupled with Rossi’s desire to situate his theory of the city within a notion of time, the work could be reconceived not as postmodern, but rather as late.
