## What is Rome Typology?

ROME TYPOLOGY

AN ARCHITECTURAL CITY GUIDE

Find hidden architectural gems of the 20th century that other travel guides will never take you to.

Rome Typology is a collection of building information which leads you to more than 40 buildings in the Eternal City.

The result of an academic research in eight cities, these original city apps for architects, building enthusiasts and travellers have been conceived by Christ & Gantenbein and their team at ETH Zurich. This inventory of metropolitan and essentially ubiquitous 20th century buildings exposes a systematic yet subjective compilation of urban architecture around the world. The result is a rich database of great practical value for students, lecturers and practitioners of architecture, comprising more than 350 buildings in all.

Seven more city guides are available on the AppStore: Athens, Buenos Aires, Delhi, Hong Kong, New York, Paris, São Paulo.

Each Typology comes with:
- facts and figures
- contextual and historical insights
- floor plans and axonometric drawings
- recent photos
- map locator

App Features:
- Building Index
- Map of All Locations
- Favorite Building List

Find all content and more in the two “Typology” monographs published by Park Books.

### 4/5 — Really useful app for architects

*2014-10-29*

An alternative guide looking at Roman modern classics. It has many lesser known entries, mostly housing, with their exact location plans and essential info. Great way to disseminate useful research. I would give 5 star to make it available offline, and if there was a way to identify the favourites on the overview map.
