Dear Sir,
we are students from the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture. Multiple sources say that Carlo Scarpa and Aldo Rossi have been involved in the planning of North Nazimabad Town, sources say that this was during the late 1950s. We could not find any information or maps regarding this so we were forced to come up with our own analysis using different cities that they have previously designed.
What is strange is that Aldo Rossi graduated in 1959, published his book ‘The Architecture of the City in 1966.
With the lack of published information on the architects involvement we are wondering how is it possible for a major city to be designed by a mere architecture student, which is what the proof seems to be pointing towards. Any help regarding this matter would be appreciated extremely,
Regards,
