An essential look at the Italian architect, writer, and designer whose work paved the way for the postmodern movement

Now available in paper, this crucial reassessment of Aldo Rossi's (1931-1997) architecture examines his writings, drawings, and product design, including the coffeepots and clocks he designed for the Italian firm Alessi. The first Italian to receive the Pritzker Prize, Rossi rejected modernism, seeking instead a form of architecture that could transcend the aesthetic legacy of Fascism in postwar Italy. Rossi was a visionary who did not allow contemporary trends to dominate his thinking. His baroque sensibility and poetic approach, found both in his buildings and in important texts such as The Architecture of the City, inspired the critic Ada Louise Huxtable to describe him as "a poet who happens to be an architect."

Diane Ghirardo explores different categories of structures--monuments, public buildings, cultural institutions, theaters, and cemeteries--drawing significantly on previously unpublished archival materials and always keeping Rossi's own texts in the forefront. By delving into the relationships among Rossi's multifaceted life, his rich body of work, and his own reflections, this book provides a critical understanding of Rossi's buildings and the place of architecture in postwar Italy.

Not for aggressive chewers
Style: 4 Styles Set
These were ok for a short while. But with this aggressive chewer we have they shred and the threads get hung between her teeth. Had to start throwing them away 😕

Best toy for big dogs
Style: 5 KNOTS
This is the toughest rope I have found. It is the only toy my Rottweiler doesn’t destroy in a day. It lasts over a week with her constantly carrying it around and tearing at it. She loves it.

Great dog toys!
Color: 4 PCS Ocean Series
My 3 dogs simply love them! Exactly as advertised. Arrived promptly. Squeakers in every toy. Well constructed as they are all still in one piece. :)

Labrador
Color: 4 PCS Ocean Series
I have three Labrador retrievers and a bulldog who all loved these toys. They were able to play tug of war without destroying them. This is quite amazing because the bulldog has extremely strong jaws. They play for hours with these toys and they have not become disinterested yet. I would recommend them for dogs who play together with their toys. They are especially enamored of the octopus and the clam. And to my surprise, my old chocolate female Labrador became particularly interested in the salmon. Each toy appears to have multiple squeakers and I think this is what gathers their interest. If you are looking for toys for multiple dogs these should fit the bill!

Not durable- NOT SAFE! Filled with CLEAR PLASTIC WRAP! See Video
Color: 4 PCS Ocean Series
My dogs tore right into these. They didn’t last 10 mins. Inside them, is clear plastic that my dogs were already getting into their mouths. That’s what makes the crinkle noises! CLEAR PLASTIC! This plastic could become an obstruction in your dog’s intestines if they eat that! That’s not safe for dogs and the fact that they are not durable either is a very bad combination! A dog toy manufacturer should know this! If you haven’t bought these, don’t. If you have, do NOT leave your dogs unsupervised with them. Unsafe! They are very cute and my dogs were enjoying playing with them, but they just aren’t durable, nor safe! I’d say they aren’t a very good value either considering what we paid for them. I’m rebuilding mine (taking out the plastic and the little squeakers) to try and make them safer, but I still will be supervising them with them for the short time that they will probably last. Don’t waste your money. I just purchased these at Christmas- 2024 for my two Scottie Terriers. My dogs just played with these the first time today and it didn’t take 10 mins for them to be tearing pieces of clear plastic out and had it in their mouths. Smh That’s just so wrong. Why would they put that in there? I won’t be buying from this company again.
