The Architecture of the City (Opposition Books / The MIT Press, 1985) by Aldo Rossi is a classic in postmodern architectural and urban theory.

In part a protest against functionalism and the Modern Movement, in part an attempt to restore the craft of architecture to its position as the only valid object of architectural study, and in part an analysis of the rules and forms of the city’s construction, the book has become immensely popular among architects and design students.
