Architect – Aldo Rossi
Aldo Rossi was an Italian architect and designer 1931/1997. The first Italian to receive the Pritzker Prize – 1990. He studied architecture at the Polytechnic University of Milan. His architectural theory, sensitive to urban life, gained him international respect.
“Rossi has been able to follow the lessons of classical architecture without copying them; his buildings carry echoes from the past in their use of forms that have a universal, haunting quality. His work is at once bold and ordinary, original without being novel, refreshingly simple in appearance but extremely complex in content and meaning. In a period of diverse styles and influences, Aldo Rossi has eschewed the fashionable and popular to create an architecture singularly his own.” Pritzker Prize Jury Citation
