ALDO ROSSI
3 o the Apartment Complex in Rauchstrasse, Berlin, Germany (1983); o the School of Architecture at the University of Miami, Florida, USA o Teatro del Mondo (1979), a boxlike theatre built on a barge so that it can be floated along the canals of Venice.
confine wide green spaces further marked by a criss-cross of pedestrian paths. The interplay of light and shadow on their raw steriometries becomes a catalyst for impressions which lead beyond the simple organization of the architectural elements. Without the hard southern light, the buildings would lose much of their vitality. Its empty square windows recesses symbolize the resting place of the dead. The colonnades with its niches for the reception of the urns in the upper storey, crosses the central axis of both cemetery complexes.
Aldo Rossi has used the historical urban structure of the division of land
into small plots as his concept for Quartier Schtzenstrasse. The individualized houses signal individual plots but the total number of facades exceeds the number of houses standing independently of each other. Two of the buildings are reserved exclusively for residential apartments the rest provide for a mixture of residential and commercial use.
Muted colors; egg yolk yellow, carmine red and cornflower blue are all
stucco. The earthy tones shading into red- brown or yellow indicate bricks. The pale facades are two kinds of natural stone; light and dark gray, sand and pink. The silver-grey sheet metal stays as is.
the efforts beyond variations in color and material is very impressive The varying window shapes, the appointment of the attics, the plastic
development of the facades through extroverted and reticent sections, through sills and parapet; the sometimes expressly horizontal, other times explicitly vertical division of the mostly axial-symmetric facades; and finally their own, lightly staggered order all contribute to this effect.
The classrooms form a square within which the autonomous octagonal of the assembly hall raises from a ground base. Covered walkways lead from here in all 4 directions dividing the inner courtyard.
It has a comprehensive design. Planned a broad, shallow flight of steps, perimeter wall slabs with arch openings Has a row of low, truncated pillars and a monument to the members of resistance in world war II.
9 Circle, triangle and rectangle are the geometric forms from which its seemingly loosely-superimposed bodies are developed.
Linear apartment block Repetitive simple linearity and a monotonous street gallery that runs the entire length of the four storey building. The strip of housing marked off one edge of an enclave close to an autostrada intersection. Rossis design strategy was situated between what he called inventory and memory and involved deliberate fusion of earlier types. Had subtle illusions to pediments The formally grouped structural elements recalled the rows of columns.

Modena cemetery,1972
It is a floating theatre. Constructed from a timber frame and battening This small theatre on a barge on the grand canal takes its form from medieval and Renaissance inspirations, echoing the past glories of Venetian pageantry.

The ancient mausoleum had been cross bred with the abstract visions from the late eighteenth century. The arcade and the internal street typologies are used. The analogy is taken one step further into the anthropormorphic dimension to bring to the fore relationship between the physical structure of the building and the bodies cremated therein.
