This augmented reality application complements a museum exhibit on Aldo Rossi, Eraldo Consolascio, Bruno Reichlin, and Fabio Reinhart's "Analogous City," a 1976 Venice Biennale artwork. Using a reproduction of the Analogous City (available at http://archizoom.epfl.ch), the app overlays digital layers onto the artwork, revealing complete references embedded within the collage.

The application is integral to the "Aldo Rossi - The Poet's Window, Prints 1973-1997" exhibition at the Bonnefanten Museum (Maastricht), Archizoom EPFL (Lausanne), and GAMeC (Bergamo). Purchasing the Archizoom-published map reproduction of the Analogous City allows users to replicate the exhibit's interactive experience anywhere. This map includes texts by Aldo Rossi, Fabio Reinhart, and Dario Rodighiero.

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

As Aldo Rossi himself described in Lotus International #13 (1976): "Bridging past and present, reality and imagination, the analogous city is perhaps simply the city we design daily, confronting and overcoming challenges, with a reasonable hope for ultimate improvement."
