From the Ground Up is a series on Archinect focused on discovering the early stages & signs of history's most prolific architects. Starting from the beginning allows us to understand the long journey architecture takes in even the formative of hands and often, surprising shifts that occur in its journey. These early projects grant us a glimpse into the early, naive, ambitious and at points rough edges of soon to be architectural masters.

In this installment we look at Aldo Rossi and his San Cataldo Cemetery. While not his first project under his own name, it would become the project tied to the progression and growth of his career and one of his largest impacts on the discipline as a whole.

What can an architectural publication accomplish in a five year lifespan? Can it deliver on its promises and produce something of value, while holding itself accountable throughout? This is the self-imposed challenge of SAN ROCCO, an architecture magazine based in Milan, Italy. The magazine began implementing this “Five-year Plan” in summer of 2010 with its appropriately titled first release, Innocence, and is now in its eighth issue, with plans to release no more than twenty in total.
