Rossi’s slab within Milan’s Gallaratese / Monte Amiata complex—repetitive dwellings read as monumental type. Colonnades and repeating units cast housing as palace or gallery. Collective living is framed through memory of urban types.

Highlights

  • Pilotis and colonnade — How does the ground void signal the public?
  • Façade rhythm — Does repetition favor the individual or the collective?
