An image for this article would be beneficial. Can anyone upload an image of the floating theatre or one of his drawings?

Post Modernist?[edit]

"Rossi was clearly progressing Modernist views that were based on European urbanism" Now, I am not an architect nor an art historian but I did take a couple of architecture classes and this does not ring true to me. When we discussed Rossi in class (in the context of the San Cataldo Cemetery) and in all of the required readings, he was definitely grouped in with Post-Modernists like Venturi, Moneo, etc. In addition, having read a couple of his theoretical essays he definitely seemed like he was trying to critique if not repudiate much of the "international style" that occupied the mainstream in modernist architecture.

Hopefully, this is helpful in, at the very least, spurring discussion by those who are much more knowledgeable than I and can render a more definitive verdict on Rossi's theoretical viewpoint.

I'm definitely not adept when it comes to discussions on philosophy, and I generally dislike labelling architects. Nonetheless, I think the main difference between Venturi and Rossi was that Rossi saw the city (especially the European city) as a continuum based on collective memory. Venturi, on the other hand, freely chose references (historical or otherwise) without any particular sense of Rossi's continuity. In this regard, Rossi was a "modernist". Nonetheless, his work showed a clear break from the international style, so I suppose for the sake of architectural history he could also be broadly labelled a "post-modernist" (in as much as one could consider Louis Kahn a post-modernist). In any event, I've usually heard Rossi referred to as a "Neo-rationalist" which, I guess, suggests ties to the early modernists (see Terragni and Loos) and some of his contemporaries (such as Moneo, Ungers, Botta). I'd like to hear other viewpoints! Mariokempes 20:22, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Central staircase Bonnefanten Museum"[edit]

This phrasing in the photograph caption is such a typically Dutch error in English that I wonder if the article was written unedited by a native Dutch-speaker. Unlike in Dutch, prepositions like 'of' or 'in' cannot simply be omitted in English. Putting a comma after "central staircase" would make this an acceptable English caption.188.230.248.85 (talk) 21:40, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
