a Critical Category’, Précis 33 (1997): 41–6. Compare Pier

Singularity of the Urban Event in Aldo Rossi’s Early Theoretical
Work, 1953– 1964 ’, Log 9 (Winter–Spring 2007): 39–61. On
the status of architectural typology in architectural design and
historiography respectively, see Giulio Carlo Argan’s essay ‘Sul
concetto di tipologia architettonica’ (1962), published as ‘On
