Is “Rational” Knowledge of Architecture Possible? Science and Poiêsis in L'Architettura della Città
This essay is a meditation on one of the most influential architectural texts produced in the second half of the twentieth century—Aldo Rossi's groundbreaking 1976 book L'Architettura della Città. The book can be seen as a manifesto for Italian “Neorationalism,” of which Aldo Rossi was the most celebrated representative. This essay, through a close reading of L'Architettura della Città, tries to track down the object of the “Neo-Rationalist urban science.” Moreover this reading, which is done vis-à-vis the eternal dichotomy of science and poetry in Western thought, attempts to reveal the paradoxes embedded in L'Architettura della Città.
