Books by Robert Venturi

Robert Venturi (1925–2018) was an American architect and theorist who spent most of his career in Philadelphia with his partner Denise Scott Brown. He won the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1991, though the exclusion of Scott Brown from that award became a long-running controversy. His built work includes the Sainsbury Wing of the National Gallery in London and the Vanna Venturi House in Chestnut Hill. His later books Learning from Las Vegas (1972, co-authored with Scott Brown and Steven Izenour) and Iconography and Electronics (1996) extended the arguments of this manifesto.
