This book compiles the project memoirs that Aldo Rossi wrote throughout his professional career. For Rossi, writing these memoirs was an opportunity to shape reflections on a specific place, historical reality, or circumstance, employing a deeply personal narrative style imbued with the same communicative and emotional power found in his sketches and drawings.
