Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture

by Robert Venturi

ISBN 9780870702822

About This Book

A practicing architect discusses the theoretical background of modern architecture.

Editorial Note

Venturi's manifesto against reductive modernism: 'Less is a bore.' Argues for messy vitality, ambiguity, and richness over purity — an architectural epistemology that prefers 'both-and' to 'either-or.'
