Scope and Contents

This series includes drafts of Rossi's books Architecture of the City and A Scientific Autobiography as well as work he contributed to other authors' books, notes, and preliminary and final drafts of his writing. Notes regarding publishing are included only when the published item is present in the collection. This series also includes documentation such as plans, descriptions and official letters for such projects as Piazza di Sannazzaro and the Scandicci competition. Rossi bibliographies, ephemera, photographs, and additional clippings are located in this series. While most clippings comprise writing by Rossi or about Rossi, there are also materials outside of this scope that were most likely used for Rossi's research or that reflect his personal interests.
