Monument in Revolution: 1968, Tendenza and Education in Aldo Rossi

Kenta Matsui

In the 1960’s, as Italian architectural schools faced student protests and forceful occupation attempts, Aldo Rossi tried to reform the schools through the reconstruction of architecture as discipline/theory. His theory has two aspects: urban analysis and architectural project. The former presents a dynamic conception of the city, as if echoing the restless social situation of the time; the latter centers on monuments/fixed objects. Beyond this apparent opposition of motion/statics, this study explores the nexus between these two aspects of Rossi’s theory to clarify its meaning, and in light of this, to investigate the idea of 'monuments in revolution'.
