Abstract
«Architettura della città» written by Aldo Rossi (1966) is a classic in urban morphology, but we must look at this book in its original form, a field research report (1964), in order to understand how much urban morphology is important in the city planning design process. Analysing the report we can point out the main references on which Rossi bases his new urban science theory, also we can trace the basis concepts that Rossi will develop in the book written two years later. Reading the report within its original wider contest, the Ilses scientific program - a program shared by politicians, administrators, technicians and academicians - means contextualize the Rossi's thought in the Italian Sixties debate, a reformism season where territorial management could not regardless reasoning about city, its form and its content. In this sense, the Rossi's theory goes back to being part of the urban planning debate in line with one of the two new territorial imagines discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
