The Architecture of the City

---

“The Architecture of the City” (Italian: L’architettura della città) is a seminal book by the Italian architect Aldo Rossi, first published in 1966. This work is a cornerstone in urban design theory, marking a shift from modernist doctrines to a renewed appreciation of the traditional European city. In this book, Rossi critiques the contemporary understanding of cities in architectural practice. He emphasizes the importance of studying and valuing cities as entities constructed over time, highlighting the role of urban artifacts that endure through history. Rossi introduces the concept of the city’s “collective memory,” arguing that monuments and historical structures give a city its unique identity and structure. The book is divided into four main chapters:
>The Structure of Urban Artifacts
>Primary Elements and the Concept of Area
>The Individuality of Urban Artifacts
>The Architecture of the City
Rossi’s ideas have been influential in urban planning and architecture, particularly in the reconstruction of cities like Berlin after the German reunification.
