Architectural Design | Roma Interrotta (AD Profile 20)

Architectural Design Profile 20: Rome Interrotta published in 1979 as a 3/4-month issue, the architectural exhibition “Broken Rome”, held in Rome (Roma Interrotta, 1978), was documented. The exhibition invites 12 architects to redraw and interpret from their own independent perspectives a complete plan of the city of Rome made in 1748 by the Italian architect and cartographer Giovanni Battista Nolli, 1701-1756, and composed of 12 copperplate paintings. James Stirling, 1926-1992, Robert Venturi, 1925-2018, and Colin Rowe (1920-1999) participated in this important space-time dialogue in the history of urban design.
