ArchitectureWeek Description
The views and architecture of Venturi and Scott Brown have influenced architects for nearly half a century. In this richly illustrated book they present a retrospective of their life work and a statement about its theoretical underpinnings. By looking back on their life work, they discover signs and systems that point toward a humane Mannerist architecture for a complex, multicultural society. Amazon Customer Average Rating:
