This paper investigates the formative years of Manfredo Tafuri in Rome, first as a member of the student group ASeA, then as a founder of the AUA studio, together with Vieri Quilici and Giorgio Piccinato. Rome at that time was a place of dense debate. Discussions were conducted mostly outside the retrograde School of Architecture, but in the context of the network of associations and professional firms in the area. In this fervid cultural climate, Tafuri emerged first as a highly controversial author and actor, then as an extraordinary architectural critic, since in 1964 he decided to abandon designing altogether and dedicate himself entirely to history. Manfredo Tafuri’s Roman years have been analyzed through his writings and through the projects he carried out as a member of research groups, along with the accounts of some of his colleagues.

Abstract
This paper investigates the formative years of Manfredo Tafuri in Rome, first as a member of the student group ASeA, then as a founder of the AUA studio, together with Vieri Quilici and Giorgio Piccinato. Rome at that time was a place of dense debate. Discussions were conducted mostly outside the retrograde School of Architecture, but in the context of the network of associations and professional firms in the area. In this fervid cultural climate, Tafuri emerged first as a highly controversial author and actor, then as an extraordinary architectural critic, since in 1964 he decided to abandon designing altogether and dedicate himself entirely to history. Manfredo Tafuri’s Roman years have been analyzed through his writings and through the projects he carried out as a member of research groups, along with the accounts of some of his colleagues.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
