Autobiography,
Rationalism
Rossi'sinterest in typology did notdirectlyderivefromthe
studyof classicalsources,suchas thetheoretical workof
J.N.L. Durand and Quatremere de Quincy. In his theoretical
development, typological study evolved graduallythrougha
vast and heterogeneous series of articles,reviews,and con-
ferences,and couldnotbe reducedto a singledefinition. It
emerged in Rossi'scriticalwork through his closeattention
to theneedsof architecture as an urbanphenomenonfreed
fromtheoretical and methodological prejudicesand restored
to itsconcreteand rationaldimension.
The framework in whichRossidevelopedthebasisfor
a typological study was his collaboration withCasabella
Continuità, editedby Ernesto Rogers from 1958to 1964.
