Application Description

The application is an integral component of a museum installation focused on The Analogous City, an influential artwork collaboratively created by Aldo Rossi, Eraldo Consolascio, Bruno Reichlin, and Fabio Reinhart for the 1976 Venice Biennale of Architecture. Utilizing augmented reality, the application enhances the viewer's experience by overlaying comprehensive references on different layers over a reproduction of The Analogous City, which is available at http://archizoom.epfl.ch.

This innovative application is essential for interacting with the digital aspects of the exhibition titled "Aldo Rossi - The window of the poet, Prints 1973-1997," which is showcased at the Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht, Archizoom EPFL in Lausanne, and GAMeC in Bergamo.

By acquiring the reproduction in the form of a map of the Analogous City, published by Archizoom, users can replicate the museum installation's interactive experience anytime and anywhere. The printed map includes insightful texts by Aldo Rossi, Fabio Reinhart, and Dario Rodighiero, enriching the understanding of the artwork.

The Analogous City, or La Città Analoga, was envisioned as a true urban project. It incorporates a variety of elements from different eras and creators, such as the Drawing of Vitruvius’ city by Giovanni Battista Caporali (1536), a drawing of the Pleiades Constellation by Galileo Galilei (1610), David and Goliath, a painting by Tanzio da Varallo (ca 1625), the plan of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane by Francesco Borromini (1638-1641), the Dufour topographic map (1864), the general plan of the chapel of Notre Dame du Haut by Le Corbusier (1954), and numerous architectural projects by Aldo Rossi and his collaborators.

Aldo Rossi articulated the essence of The Analogous City in Lotus International n. 13 in 1976, stating, "Between past and present, reality and imagination, the analogous city is perhaps simply the city to be designed day by day, tackling problems and overcoming them, with a reasonable certainty that things will ultimately be better."
