First published in 1966, and since translated into 16 languages,
this remarkable book has become an essential document in
architectural literature. As Venturi's ""gentle manifesto for a
nonstraightforward architecture,"" 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.
