Abstract

When looking into the delicate relationship between Aldo Rossi’s theoretical drawings and their implementations in reality, one would always find it fascinating that his projects that were expressive and vibrant on paper oftentimes were built and perceived in a completely different way. For all kinds of reasons, his projects were sometimes not completely built or built differently from his original intention. Architecture historians analyzed the reasons behind these unsuccessful implementations, whether they were caused by the fundamental design ideas or just came from reality issues. By studying this topic, it would be helpful for architects who tried to design in similar forms to better understand the elements that are essential for a faithful implementation of the original design.
