Summary:

"Autonomia" was an Italian new social movement of the mid-to late-1970s that combined several single-issue activist groups into one movement united by a shared belief in maintaining their autonomy from the state. Educator Pier Vittorio Aureli traces the influence of Autonomia on architectural thinking. Aureli examines how post-1968 political events and a rethinking of Marxist theory by intellectuals like Mario Tronti influenced a variety of that era's architectural projects and writings, including Manfredo Tafuri's critique of architectural ideology; architect Aldo Rossi's reinvention of categories in his book The Architecture of the City; as well as Rossi's 1962 government center for Turin.
