ALDO ROSSI Teatro del Mondo in 1:100
In 1979, Paolo Portoghesi was director of the Venice Biennale. He commissioned Aldo Rossi to create a "manifesto" work for the urban space.
Aldo Rossi designed and built the floating "Teatro del Mondo"—a temporary theater on a pontoon that drew on the Venetian tradition of floating structures while also making a radical architectural statement.
After a brief appearance in the lagoon and the subsequent journey across the Adriatic Sea to Dubrovnik, it was dismantled again. Nevertheless, this ephemeral, backdrop-like building has shaped Italian architecture in the second half of the 20th century like no other project.
Oh, how I would have loved to see that.
I am offering an original scale model of the theater.Published in 1984 by the renowned Academia Boekhandel Delft, Holland. The author is architect and professor Umberto Barbieri, with whom Aldo Rossi founded a joint office in The Hague in 1987.The two worked together as equals, establishing themselves as an important duo in the world of architecture.
