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.
