Book Synopsis Robert Venturi's Rome by : Frederick Fisher
Download or read book Robert Venturi's Rome written by Frederick Fisher. This book was released on 2017. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Robert Venturi’s Rome is a guidebook to the city of Rome seen through the eyes of Robert Venturi and re-interpreted by two subsequent Rome Prize fellows and architect, Frederick Fisher and Stephen Harby. Published in 1966, Venturi viewed architecture, landscape, and art as different manifestations of common themes. Fundamental to the develo9pment of any young architects’ outlook on architecture, Venturi wrote this seminal publication following a two-year Rome Prize fellowship at the American Academy in Rome. Many buildings in Rome serve as examples that illustrate his theories, underscoring the city’s profound influence on Venturi’s thinking: from the Pantheon, through works by his favorite artist, Michelangelo, and on to 20th century buildings by Armando Brasini and Luigi Moretti, Venturi reveals Rom as a complex and contradictory city." -- Book jacket.

Book Synopsis The Difficult Whole by : Kersten Geers
Download or read book The Difficult Whole written by Kersten Geers. This book was released on 2016. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1960s, American architect Robert Venturi made a case for the difficult whole, opposing mainstream modern architecture that ignores all the intricacies of life and produces pure space, or "easy unity". The architecture Venturi was aiming for embraces diversities, inevitable in any project. This new book, edited by Architecture Without Content, a research group at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne's School of Architecture, offers a fresh analysis and a thorough re-evaluation of Venturi s idea of "the difficult whole" as both a looking glass and a possible tool for architecture today. Through a radical re-reading of found material from the Venturi Scott Brown archives, the editors seek to propose a credible alternative to contemporary architectural discourse. Its format combines the ambiguity of interpretation with the factual material, keeping the precision of the argument. This elusive position is elaborated in essays, complemented by interviews with Kazunari Sakamoto and Alvaro Siza.Around 35 projects by Venturi Scott Brown, and also by Alvaro Siza and James Stirling, form a visual narrative with original plans and sections and other archive material as well as new perspective images and photographs especially produced for this book.
