Skrevet af VENTURI, R.
First published in 1966, and since translated into 16 languages, this
remarkable book has become an essential document of architectural
literature. A "gentle manifesto for a nonstraightforward architecture,"
Venturi’s 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. Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture was the winner of the Classic Book Award at the AIA's Seventh Annual International Architecture Book Awards.
