The study aimed to investigate Carlo Aymonino’style (Rome, 1926-2010) through the systematic study of public and private, national and international Archives and Collections. The research was conducted by analysing archival documents in the major collections dedicated to Carlo Aymonino.
Following this pathway Carlo Aymonino’s AAM Architecture Modern Art Fund, the Centre Pompidou and the Accademia Nazionale di San Luca has already analyzed, but the project intends to also involve other important institutes and Universities such as the Research Center and Archive Communication of Parma (CSAC), the University Institute of Architecture in Venice (IUAV), National Museum of XXI Century Arts in Rome (MAXXI) and the University of Tor Vergata in Rome, where Aymonino’s personal library has been housed.
This research is an original archival work which may allow us to reconstruct cultural and professional steps and phases of an architect, Carlo Aymonino, who has investigated the relationship between city, architecture and representation for over sixty years of activity.

Recollecting the steps and the events that have marked Carlo Aymonino’s personal and professional history could represent a great opportunity to rebuild a significant "memorial" in the Italian architectural and cultural landscape.
