Reviews

Another in Rizzoli's excellent series of heavily illustrated monographs on contemporary architectural masters. Rossi (b. 1931), who has taught in this country and written widely, practices in Milan. He was one of the first to provide historical links with the past, abandoning the ahistorical tendencies of modernism. The texts are brief, but the photographs and plans are full and excellent. Scully has contributed a brief appreciative introduction. Recommended as a thorough, careful, highly visual document of post-modern architecture. Jack Perry Brown, Art Inst. of Chicago Libs.
