“Probably the most important writing on the making of architecture since Le Corbusier’s Vers une Architecture of 1923″,
Vincent Scully
In 1966, Robert Venturi wrote Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture, a fundamental text underlying a renewed interest in the history of international architecture from the 1970s: it presented a “gentle manifesto” against the “moralist and puritan idiom” of late Modernism which saw in its contradictions the vehicle for a universal and expressive poetic sentiment.
To celebrate one of the most important architectural texts of the 20th century, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of its publication, , three days of events to further explore the validity and contemporary influence of Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture, discussing its role within the current and complex panorama of architectural criticism.
