Rossi Gallaretese Plans, sections, elevations

Monolith

Hi all,

Unfortunately, my university library has only one real resource on Rossi which appears to be out on long term loan. I've had a good look online but am struggling to find any plans, sections or elevations of his Gallaretese scheme for a comparative essay. I'd be grateful if anyone might be able to link me to a definitive source (book, weblink especially useful..) if at all possible.

Many thanks.

from a quick search of the university of pennsylvania catalog...

Housing complex at the Gallaratese Quarter, Milan, Italy, 1969-1974 / Carlo Aymonino, Aldo Rossi ; edited and photographed by Yukio Futagawa ; text by Pierluigi Nicolin.

your library should be able to get this through interlibrary loan from somewhere

An inter-library loan would be perfect but unfortunately it's unlikely that I'd source it in time for the 11th Jan essay deadline.

The edition of Global Architecture you mention architphil is GA45. My library has most other editions from that year (1977) but sady not the required copy. If anybody has a copy of this and would be willing to scan a copy of plans, sections, elevations, it would be very warmly welcomed and my door open to a cup of tea for you ;)

Thanks very much for all of the responses and links. I've just taken a trip to the city library and found the Rizzoli book of his works. Perfect!
