Review
Aldo Rossi: Architecture 1981-1991 is a vivid and timely survey of recent buildings, projects, and drawing--Rossi's way with pencil and paint is renowned--by the Italian theorist turned superstar. Rossi's work is distinguished by depth of feeling and stark simplicity, neither disallowing gaiety. -- Adele Freedman, Toronto Globe and Mail
