  • Remembering Robert Venturi, a Modern Mannerist
    The Plan Journal 4 (1): 253-259, 2019 doi: 10.15274/tpj.2019.04.01.1 Remembering Robert Venturi, a Modern Mannerist In Memoriam / THEORY Maurizio Sabini After the generation of the “founders” of the Modern Movement, very few architects had the same impact that Robert Venturi had on architecture and the way we understand it in our post-modern era. Aptly so and with a virtually universal consensus, Vincent Scully called Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture (1966) “probably the most important writing on the making of architecture since Le Corbusier’s Vers une architecture, of 1923.” 1 And I would submit that no other book has had an equally consequential impact ever since, even though Learning from Las Vegas (published by Venturi with Denise Scott Brown and Steven Izenour in 1972) has come quite close. As Aaron Betsky has observed: Like the Modernism that Venturi sought to nuance and enrich, many of the elements for which he argued were present in even the most reduced forms of high Modernism. Venturi was trying to save Modernism from its own pronouncements more than from its practices. To a large extent, he won, to the point now that we cannot think of architecture since 1966 without reference to Robert Venturi.2 253 The Plan Journal 4 (1): 253-259, 2019 - doi: 10.15274/tpj.2019.04.01.1 www.theplanjournal.com Figure 1.

  • Allen Memorial Art Museum Teacher Resource Packet - AMAM 1977 Addition
    Allen Memorial Art Museum Teacher Resource Packet - AMAM 1977 Addition Robert Venturi (American, 1925 – 2018) Allen Memorial Art Museum Addition¸ 1977 Sandstone façade, glass, brick. Robert Venturi was an American architect born in 1925. Best known for being an innovator of postmodern architecture, he and his wife Denise Scott Brown worked on a number of notable museum projects including the 1977 Oberlin addition, the Seattle Museum of Art, and the Sainsbury addition to the National Gallery in London. His architecture is characterized by a sensitive and thoughtful attempt to reconcile the work to its surroundings and function. Biography Robert Venturi was born in 1925 in Philadelphia, PA, and was considered to be one of the foremost postmodern architects of his time. He attended Princeton University in the 1940s, graduating in 1950 summa cum laude. His early experiences were under Eero Saarinen, who designed the famous Gateway Arch in St. Louis, and Louis Kahn, famous for his museum design at the Kimbell Art Museum in Texas and at Yale University. The AMAM addition represents one of Venturi’s first forays into museum design, and was intended to serve as a functional addition to increase gallery and classroom space. Allen Memorial Art Museum, Oberlin College For Educational Use Only 1 Venturi was also very well known for his theoretical work in architecture, including Complexity and Contradictions in Architecture (1966), and Learning from Las Vegas (1972). The second book presented the idea of the “decorated shed” and the “duck” as opposing forms of architecture. The Vanna Venturi house was designed for Venturi’s mother in Philadelphia, and is considered one of his masterworks.

  • Robert Indiana
    ROBERT INDIANA Born in New Castle, Indiana in 1928 and died in 2018 Robert Indiana adopted the name of his home state after serving in the US military. The artist received his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1954 and following the advice of his friend Ellsworth Kelly, he relocated to New York, setting up a studio in the Coenties Slip neighborhood of Lower Manhattan and joined the pop art movement. The work of the American Pop artist Robert Indiana is rooted in the visual idiom of twentieth-century American life with the same degree of importance and influence as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. As a self-proclaimed “American painter of signs” Indiana gained international renown in the early 1960’s, he drew inspiration from the American road and shop signs, billboards, and commercial logos and combined it with a sophisticated formal and conceptual approach that turned a familiar vocabulary into something entirely new, his artworks often consists of bold, simple, iconic images, especially numbers and short words like “EAT”, “HOPE”, and “LOVE” what Indiana called “sculptural poems”. The iconic work “LOVE”, served as a print image for the Museum of Modern Art ‘s Christmas card in 1964 and sooner later the design became popular as US postage stamp. “LOVE” has also appeared in prints, paintings, sculptures, banners, rings, tapestries. Full of erotic, religious, autobiographical, and political undertones — it was co-opted as an emblem of 1960s idealism (the hippie free love movement). Its original rendering in sculpture was made in 1970 and is displayed in Indiana at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.

By Ruth Palmon Submitted to the Department of Architecture on May 23, 2002 in Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Architecture Studies ABSTRACT The objective of this thesis is to explore the relationship between the self and the house. In approaching the subject, my assumptions were that the basic condition of the house-self relationship is of tension and animosity and that architectural design, following a psychoanalytical tendency to reduce tension, is used to improve this condition. When great amounts of energy and care are invested in this process, the narrative of tension and its resolution is brought to the surface through architectural drawings.
