Two architectural theorists and designers look back over their influential professional careers, their dedication to broadening the view of the built world, and their iconoclastic vision of the future of architectural design, discovering signs and systems that point forward toward a humane Mannerist architecture.

Selected Essays, 1953-1984

A View from the Campidoglio

Now available in its original edition along with critical commentary, Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture is the founding text of postmodernism in architecture First published in 1966, Robert Venturi's Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture, widely considered the foundational text of postmodernism, has become an essential document in architectural theory and criticism. This new two-volume boxed set presents a facsimile of the original edition paired with a compendium of new scholarship on and around Venturi's seminal treatise. The ten selected essays, a number of which were presented at a three-day international conference co-organized by MoMA to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Complexity and Contradiction in 2016, address diverse issues, such as the book's relationship to Venturi's own built oeuvre and its significance in the contemporary landscape. Additional short commentaries by contemporary practitioners attest to Complexity's enduring influence on architectural practice. Together, these two volumes expand the horizons of--and introduce a new generation to--Venturi's "gentle manifesto."

The house that Robert Venturi designed for his mother in Chestnut Hill, Phila., & had built in 1964, is arguably the most architecturally influential building of the second half of the 20th century. Here, Robert Venturi reflects on this seminal building from a distance of over 25 years. He discusses why its style & form, once so revolutionary, are accepted now. Presents for the first time all of the developmental drawings that were executed to accompany the 6 stages of the design. Also included are original construction drawings, yellow tracing-paper drawings, photos of the house, & the series of models that were made.

Marion Boulton Stroud

The founder of the Acadia Summer Arts Program, Marion Boulton Stroud, asked Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown and Steven Izenour to design and construct houses and other structures for the camp. The architects took as inspiration Maine's indigenous architecture, such as shingle houses and lobster shacks.
