First edition, first printing. Octavo, original gray cloth. Signed by Robert Venturi, who has added a drawing of his mother's house which he, of course designed. Fine in a near fine dust jacket.
As Venturi's "gentle manifesto for a nonstraightforward architecture," Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture expresses in the most compelling and original terms the postmodern rebellion against the purism of modernism. Three hundred and fifty architectural photographs serve as historical comparisons and illuminate the author's ideas on creating and experiencing architecture" (The New York Times).
