First Edition of Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture "an essential document in architectural literature"; Signed by Robert Venturi with a drawing
First edition of this essential document of architectural literature. Octavo, original gray cloth, illustrated. Boldly signed by Robert Venturi who has added a drawing of his mother's house on the dedication page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Introduction by Vincent Scully.
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).
