Iconography and Electronics Upon a Generic Architecture

Venturi, who along with his partner, Denise Scott Brown, has made the vulgar acceptable and found virtue in the commercial, the kitsch, and the ordinary, is repected equally as a theorist and an architect who communicates his architectural ideas, formal and verbal, with grace and wit. These essays, letters, reports, lectures, manifestos, and polemic texts offer a candid, uncensored view from the drafting room. 117 illustrations.
