This application is a component of a museum installation dedicated to the Analogous City.

This application is a component of a museum installation focusing on The Analogous City, an artwork by Aldo Rossi, Eraldo Consolascio, Bruno Reichlin, and Fabio Reinhart, originally created for the 1976 Venice Biennale of Architecture. Using augmented reality technology, the app works in conjunction with a reproduction of The Analogous City—available at http://archizoom.epfl.ch—to display the complete collage references on various layers suspended above the artwork.

The application is essential for interacting with the digital installation featured in the exhibition Aldo Rossi - The window of the poet, Prints 1973-1997, presented at Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht, Archizoom EPFL in Lausanne, and GAMeC in Bergamo.

By purchasing the reproduction in the form of an Analogous City map published by Archizoom, you can recreate the museum installation experience anytime and anywhere. The printed map includes texts by Aldo Rossi, Fabio Reinhart, and Dario Rodighiero.

The Analogous City (La Città Analoga) was conceived as a genuine urban project. Its compositional elements include, among others, The Drawing of Vitruvius’ city by Giovanni Battista Caporali (1536), Galileo Galilei's drawing of the Pleiades Constellation (1610), David and Goliath, a painting by Tanzio da Varallo (ca 1625), Francesco Borromini's plan of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane (1638-1641), the Dufour topographic map (1864), Le Corbusier's general plan for the Notre Dame du Haut chapel (1954), and various architectural projects by Aldo Rossi and his collaborators.

"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." – Aldo Rossi on the Analogous City, in Lotus International n. 13, 1976.
