Summary:

Of special significance to Rossi's work is Insual, a series of drawings inspired by models from antiquity and their reinterpretation in the works of Baroque artists such as Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) and Claude Lorrain (1600-1682). In complete contrast to the zeitgeist of the 1970s, which animated architects and artists with the hope of creating a better architecture or even a better society by breaking with the past, Rossi found his models in the buildings of earlier centuries. The title of the exhibition refers not only to this series, but also to the traditional construction method of Roman buildings (insulae), an important concept for Rossi's architecture as, for example, in projects such as Schützenstraße in Berlin. The German capital as well as his native Italy played a major role in the architect's career. Rossi designed unique projects for Berlin, some of which were realised while others, such as the German Historical Museum, remained on paper. -- Page 4 of cover.
