Rossi, one of Italy’s foremost twentieth-century architects, introduced compelling ideas on the city as the locus of collective memory, the permanence of the city-territory, and the relationship between architecture and nature. His neglected notion of analogical cities challenged utilitarian approaches to urbanism with open ended, imaginative, “analogical thinking” about cities. Tracing Rossi revisits these aspects, investigating their continuing significance, and transforming Rossi’s ideas in light of contemporary challenges, particularly on unruly urbanisation and the spatial aspects of the Anthropocene – the current era where human activity significantly influences climate change and resource depletion.
The exhibition is part of a wider critical project developed in McEwan’s book Analogical City, the first detailed study of Rossi and the analogical city. McEwan argues that the analogical city is poetic and political: it always refers beyond itself towards a collective and critical project of the city, and yet it invites a series of formal, spatial, and graphic operations comprising erasure and negation, presence and absence, followed by overdrawing, substitution, and remontage. Tracing Rossi advances Rossi’s legacy and engages his ideas as critical tools for addressing pressing challenges through architectural imagination.
