Architecture as Signs and Systems

For a Mannerist Time - The William E. Massey Sr. Lectures in the History of American Civilization

Więcej o książce

Robert Venturi made a significant impact on architecture in 1966 with his bold ideas in Complexity and Contradiction, followed by further controversy in 1972 with Learning from Las Vegas, co-authored with Denise Scott Brown and Steven Izenour. In this work, the duo reflects on their influential partnership and the innovative architecture it has inspired. Their perspectives have shaped architectural discourse for nearly fifty years, advocating for pluralism, multiculturalism, symbolism, and the integration of popular culture and everyday landscapes. They explore concepts such as generic building and electronic communication, offering a comprehensive retrospective of their contributions and the theoretical foundations behind them. This book is accessible, informative, and richly illustrated, making it essential for architecture and urban planning students, as well as those interested in these pivotal cultural figures. Venturi and Scott Brown have dedicated their careers to expanding our understanding of the built environment and the roles of its practitioners. By revisiting their life's work, they uncover signs and systems that lead to a humane Mannerist architecture suited for a complex, multicultural society.
