Aureli, Pier Vittorio. Cl. New York, 2008 Traces the influence of autonomia on architectural thinking. Aureli examines how post-1968 political events and a rethinking of Marxist theory by intellectuals like Mario Tronti influenced a variety of that era's architectural projects and writings, including Manfredo Tafuri's critique of architectural ideology; architect Aldo Rossi's reinvention of categories in his book The Architecture of the City; as well as Rossi's 1962 government center for Turin. Fourth volume in the FORuM Project series. 120 pp., 24 color, 19 B&W illus. 78459
