LECTURE: ALDO ROSSI IN NEW YORK / ORGANIZED BY THE CENTER FOR ARCHITECTURE WITH F. G. GODLEWSKI & THE FONDAZIONE ALDO ROSSI

The relationship between the great Italian architect and designer Aldo Rossi (1931-1997) and the landscape of New York City are being examined in this lecture given by Frank Gerard Godlewski (Principal, Fellsbridge Studio LLC), Gigi Salomon (artist) and Morris Adjmi (FAIA, Principal, Morris Adjmi Architects).

 

As was stated in the abstract of the presentations:

 

Architects and planners will discuss the contributions of Aldo Rossi`s art and architecture to New York City’s landscape. Architect Morris Adjmi, who worked with Rossi and curated his latest Milan exhibition, will present drawings and projects that they collaborated on for NYC as well as new buildings. Also from Rossi’s Studio, Frank Gerard Godlewski will conduct a discussion with Gigi Salomon, an urban planner and documentarian of the “Tribeca Pioneer Artist” community who helped transform the shape of Soho and Tribeca in the 1960s and 70s. The presentation will include material from the new book, Window of the Poet by The Bonnefanten Museum in Maastrich (designed by Rossi).
