Application Description

The application is an integral part of a museum installation focused on The Analogous City, a significant artwork by Aldo Rossi, Eraldo Consolascio, Bruno Reichlin, and Fabio Reinhart, which was originally presented at the Venice Biennale of Architecture in 1976. This innovative application utilizes augmented reality to enhance the viewer's experience by layering complete references over a reproduction of The Analogous City, which can be accessed at http://archizoom.epfl.ch.

This digital tool is essential for engaging with the exhibition titled "Aldo Rossi - The window of the poet, Prints 1973-1997," which is being showcased at multiple venues including the Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht, Archizoom EPFL in Lausanne, and GAMeC in Bergamo. By acquiring the reproduction of The Analogous City in the form of a map published by Archizoom, users can replicate the interactive museum experience at any time and location. The map itself is enriched with texts by Aldo Rossi, Fabio Reinhart, and Dario Rodighiero, adding depth to the understanding of the artwork.

The Analogous City, or La Città Analoga, was envisioned as a comprehensive urban project. It incorporates a diverse array of elements, including Giovanni Battista Caporali's drawing of Vitruvius’ city from 1536, Galileo Galilei's depiction of the Pleiades Constellation from 1610, Tanzio da Varallo's painting of David and Goliath circa 1625, Francesco Borromini's plan of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane from 1638-1641, the Dufour topographic map of 1864, Le Corbusier's general plan of the chapel of Notre Dame du Haut from 1954, and various architectural projects by Aldo Rossi and his collaborators.

Aldo Rossi himself described The Analogous City as a dynamic entity, 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." This quote, featured in Lotus International n. 13 in 1976, encapsulates the ongoing and evolving nature of the project.
