Description
Robert Venturi's Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture is widely regarded as a foundational text of postmodernism. This two-volume boxed set presents a facsimile of the original edition alongside new scholarship, exploring issues such as the book's publication, prose style, and relationship to Venturi's built work. The second volume features essays by leading architecture historians and critics, including Jean-Louis Cohen, Lee Ann Custer, and Martino Stierli. These contributions reflect on broader themes, such as the politics of the architectural profession and the connection between architecture and modern art. The set also includes commentaries from distinguished contemporary practitioners, offering testament to the book's enduring influence. This boxed set expands our understanding of Venturi's work, introducing a new generation to his "gentle manifesto".
