Rossi was born in Milan and began working for Ignazio Gardella and Marco Zanuso in 1956. From 1955 to 1964, he served as the editor-in-chief of Casaballa-Continuita. In 1966, he authored the book “Architettura Della Città,” which became a bestseller and was translated into 8 languages. Rossi also taught at the Polytechnic University in Zurich, Milan, Venice, and New York, and has been the director of the Venice Biennale since 1983.
He believes that it is impossible to think without a certain obsession. For him, that obsession consists of abstraction and reduction, two elements that can be found in all of his designs through their geometric simplicity. Rossi is known to us as the architect of the Bonnefant Museum in Maastricht.
