'''La Tendenza''' (translated as a „''trend''") was a movement of Italian [neo-rationalism](/source/Neo-Rationalism) young architects in 1960s to 1970s.[{{Cite web |last=Bottazzi |first=Roberto |date=2012-07-24 |title=La Tendenza: Italian Architecture on show |url=https://www.architectural-review.com/essays/exhibitions/la-tendenza-italian-architecture-on-show |access-date=2025-05-23 |website=The Architectural Review |language=en}}] It was made of [Carlo Aymonino](/source/Carlo_Aymonino), [Giorgio Grassi](/source/Giorgio_Grassi) or [Aldo Rossi](/source/Aldo_Rossi). It arose in reaction to the burgeoning [Modernism](/source/Modernism) and [Functionalism](/source/Functionalism_(architecture)) of pre and post-war [Italy](/source/Italy).[{{cite web |title=La Tendenza: Italian Architecture 1965–1985 |url=https://www.studiointernational.com/la-tendenza-italian-architecture-1965-1985 |website=www.studiointernational.com |access-date=16 June 2025 |language=en}}] The architects began to explore the question of memory and the glory of the Italian past, integrating their [motifs](/source/Motif_(visual_arts)) in their works as physical presence and poetic content.[{{Cite book |last1=Jones |first1=Peter |title=Modern Architecture Through Case Studies 1945 to 1990 |last2=Canniffe |first2=Eamonn |publisher=Elsevier |year=2007 |isbn=9780750663748 |location=Boston |pages=189}}] They endeavored to expose the weaknesses of modernism, such as their critique of the modernist [urbanism](/source/urbanism). Opposed to that, they recognized the social and cultural significance of the established urban fabric, the importance of historical forms and elements as a resource.[{{Cite web |title=Tendenza |url=https://www.encyclopedia.com/education/dictionaries-thesauruses-pictures-and-press-releases/tendenza |access-date=2025-05-23 |website=Encyclopedia.com}}]
The work of architectural historian [Manfredo Tafuri](/source/Manfredo_Tafuri) influenced the movement, and the [University Iuav of Venice](/source/University_Iuav_of_Venice) emerged as a center of the Tendenza after Tafuri became chair of Architecture History in 1968.[{{cite book |last1=Broadbent |first1=Geoffrey |title=Emerging Concepts in Urban Space Design |publisher=Van Nostrand Reinhold (International) |year=1990 |isbn=9780747600251 |location=London}}]{{rp|157 et seq.}} A '''Tendenza''' exhibition was organized for the 1973 [Milan Triennale](/source/Milan_Triennial_XV).
