Starting from the practice Christine Boyer has named "collage thinking", this essay deals with the subject of collage in architecture, tracing its historical and theoretical bases throughout the second half of the 20th century. Relying on original texts and documents, the essay focuses on the comparison between two works based on the theme of collage by two architects who left an indelible mark on twentieth-century architecture: on the one hand, Colin Rowe and Fred Koetter's book Collage City (1983) and on the other hand Aldo Rossi's huge Città Analoga collage (1976).
