This application is a key component of a museum installation centered around Aldo Rossi, Eraldo Consolascio, Bruno Reichlin, and Fabio Reinhart's The Analogous City, a 1976 Venice Biennale artwork. Utilizing augmented reality, the app enhances a reproduction of The Analogous City (available at http://archizoom.epfl.ch), overlaying interactive layers of references onto the artwork itself.

Essential for engaging with the digital installation at the "Aldo Rossi - The Window of the Poet, Prints 1973-1997" exhibition at the Bonnefanten Museum (Maastricht), Archizoom EPFL (Lausanne), and GAMeC (Bergamo), this application allows for a rich, multi-layered experience.

Purchasing the Archizoom-published map reproduction of The Analogous City allows you to recreate this interactive museum experience anytime, anywhere. The printed map includes texts by Aldo Rossi, Fabio Reinhart, and Dario Rodighiero.

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

As Aldo Rossi himself described in Lotus International No. 13 (1976): “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.”
