ORAL HISTORY INTERVIEW WITH DENISE SCOTT BROWN AT THE OFFICES OF VENTURI, SCOTT BROWN & ASSOCIATES MANAYUNK, PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA OCTOBER 25, 1990 - NOVEMBER 9, 1991 INTERVIEWER: PETER REED PR: PETER REED DSB: DENISE SCOTT BROWN 1 PR: Why don't we begin at the beginning. I understand you were born in Zambia which in 1931 was what, Northern Rhodesia? DSB: That's right. PR: Tell me about your family -- your background. How was it that you were born in Zambia? DSB: Because basically, my parents were living there. PR: What were they doing? DSB: My father's family were from Johannesburg, South Africa. And he, as a young man, dropped out of college and went up North, as they said, to seek adventure and a living. Things were never quite that way. In actual fact, my family on both sides are from Eastern Europe. On my father's side from Lithuania, and on my mother's side from Latvia. And they left Eastern Europe to escape pogroms and my grandfather arrived, I think it was, in 1899 at Capetown, having done the standard immigrant thing that's so well-known in America. He worked to earn the fine his family would have to pay the Army. And then he left. I could say he'd been a businessman since the age of twelve. We grow up much later these days. He'd been a cattle merchant. And by the time he left -- at I think about fourteen -- he was established and he had the money to pay the fine. And he arrived -- they went steerage and he arrived with ten shillings in his pocket, which was not very much then. He worked on the docks until he had enough money to go inland. This was also the time the Boer War was starting. And he reached Johannesburg and started in business there. Now, that had to have been about 1900. My grandmother was a young woman living in Johannesburg -- also, I think, she was from Latvia. And her family -- her father -- ran a boarding house for the other young Jewish immigrants from Latvia or Lithuania. And so she was the boarding house keeper's daughter. They married in 1904. By that time, my grandfather was well off enough to have a rather smart wedding. We have this beautiful wedding photograph. This beautiful young woman -- I think she was seventeen. And by the time my father was born in 1905, their fortunes had already changed, and he was born in a poor district of Johannesburg called Vrededorp. So my grandfather was up and down in this way as a merchant. There was a time when he owned -- with eighteen partners -- a wholesale butcher shop. So my father was one of seven children growing up in Johannesburg. They were a middle class family, and the great aim my grandmother had was to send her children to college. Well, my father went to satisfy his mother for a year. He had done pretty well in high school, but his heart wasn't in it. I think that there is a strain of slight dyslexia that runs through our family. And he is a very brilliant man -- my father -- but when it comes to -- he reads a great deal. He has a very profound knowledge of history -- but he reads slowly. I think there was a good reason to drop out of college and learn at life's university, which is what he started to do up in Northern Rhodesia. Like I say, it's not as simple as going and seeking adventure. The way Jews went to different countries was the first generation may have gone alone, and I have a theory that the first generation were slightly deviant. That's why they had the guts to get up and go. I once had a professor who said, "Psychotic. You know, like all our grandfathers." And he was speaking about the immigrants. It was Chester Rapkin at Penn. Well, I don't think that -- you can't say the whole first generation was psychotic. But they probably didn't do too well in their own countries. My feeling is that the whole of America is a deviant culture because everyone from the Pilgrim fathers onward, didn't sit well with their own culture. And that's why America is so vastly different from Europe to my way of thinking. But, in any case, my grandfather and a brother went to Africa. And then my father again went to where he had a cousin in, what was then, Northern Rhodesia. And they owned little stores. There were Jewish merchants in each little town. And the customers were the white settlers and the Africans on the mines. So, in a way, throughout Africa, in economic development terms, you can say that the Jews were there to kind of build infrastructure. It's of course the role they had in Russia, too. There were the upper classes, landed nobility and the serfs. And very often the Jews were the merchants. They did the same thing when they got to Africa. So my father went up to this wilderness, which was still lion country, and started working for different storekeepers in different little towns, learning a little more with each case. His stories are amazing. And I did an oral history for him. We sat him down in his early eighties, with all his grandchildren around him, and we all asked questions. And I have that taped. PR: Wonderful. What was his name? DSB: Shim Lakofski. I have even the transcription, but I have to correct the tape. And he's still alive. He's eighty-five. PR: Where does he live today? DSB: He lives in England. And my mother's family came from Kurland, which is a part of Latvia. And my grandmother was -- she had foster parents, because their family -- the grandfather had gone to Africa and died in Africa. These early Jewish immigrants died of yellow fever, black water fever -- all sorts of 2 things. Unnatural early deaths, leaving destitute the children and mothers they were hoping to bring with them when the had found a footing. So for that reason, my grandmother was brought up by a rich family of relatives in Latvia, and the photograph that we have of her as a young girl, at the turn of the century, she was exquisite. And she's incredibly beautifully dressed. My mother said she was brought up like a princess. So she was sent out to marry my grandfather, which was again, a custom. Sight unseen you got your bride, and love came later. And work was hard, and you worked together, and love was not the romantic thing that was seen here. But it seems that when my grandfather met her, he fell very much in love with her. She was a very beautiful, wonderful woman. And she had all these aspirations from this grand life she had led. And if you've ever seen The Flame Trees of Thika, which is a "Masterpiece Theater" of the life of Elspeth Huxley, I sat and laughed through that whole thing, because it's exactly the story of my parents.

  • 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.

  • Extending Korn's First Inequality to Incompatible Tensor Fields
    Poincare´ meets Korn via Maxwell: Extending Korn's First Inequality to Incompatible Tensor Fields Patrizio Neff, Dirk Pauly, Karl-Josef Witsch May 14, 2014 Dedicated to Rolf Leis on the occasion of his 80th birthday Abstract 3 For a bounded domain Ω ⊂ R with Lipschitz boundary Γ and some relatively open Lipschitz subset Γt 6= ; of Γ, we prove the existence of some c > 0, such that c jjT jj 2 3×3 ≤ jjsym T jj 2 3×3 + jjCurl T jj 2 3×3 (0.1) L (Ω;R ) L (Ω;R ) L (Ω;R ) holds for all tensor fields in H(Curl; Ω), i.e., for all square-integrable tensor fields 3×3 3×3 T :Ω ! R with square-integrable generalized rotation Curl T :Ω ! R , having vanishing restricted tangential trace on Γt. If Γt = ;, (0.1) still holds at least for simply connected Ω and for all tensor fields T 2 H(Curl; Ω) which are L2(Ω)-perpendicular to so(3), i.e., to all skew-symmetric constant tensors. Here, both operations, Curl and tangential trace, are to be understood row-wise. For compatible tensor fields T = rv, (0.1) reduces to a non-standard variant of 3 the well known Korn's first inequality in R , namely c jjrvjj 2 3×3 ≤ jjsym rvjj 2 3×3 L (Ω;R ) L (Ω;R ) 1 3 for all vector fields v 2 H (Ω; R ), for which rvn, n = 1;:::; 3, are normal at Γt. On 1 3 arXiv:1203.2744v3 [math.AP] 13 May 2014 the other hand, identifying vector fields v 2 H (Ω; R ) (having the proper boundary conditions) with skew-symmetric tensor fields T , (0.1) turns to Poincar´e's inequality since p 2c jjvjj 2 3 = c jjT jj 2 3×3 ≤ jjCurl T jj 2 3×3 ≤ 2 jjrvjj 2 3 : L (Ω;R ) L (Ω;R ) L (Ω;R ) L (Ω;R ) Therefore, (0.1) may be viewed as a natural common generalization of Korn's first and Poincar´e'sinequality.
