Theory of architecture

A two-volume boxset facsimile of the first printing of

Complexity

and Contradiction

paired with a compendium of new scholarship

on and around Robert Venturi's seminal treatise.

First published in 1966, this remarkable book by Robert Venturi has become an

essential document in architectural literature. This two-volume boxed set presents

a facsimile of the first printing of

Complexity and Contradiction

paired with a

compendium of new scholarship on and around Venturi's seminal treatise. Ten essays

and a selection of original papers - introduced at a three-day international conference

co-organized by MoMA to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the book - address

diverse issues, such as the book's relationship to Venturi's own built oeuvre and its

significance in the contemporary landscape. Together, these volumes expand the

horizons of Venturi's original ideas on creating and experiencing architecture.
