Summary:

The extraordinary architectural achievements of Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and their associates have left an indelible mark on the history of architecture. This engaging book provides a critical retrospective of their architecture, urbanism, and design, ranging from the Sainsbury Wing at the National Gallery in London to the revitalization of Washington Avenue in Miami to the group of historically inspired chairs for Knoll. Filled with handsome color plates, many illustrating a variety of energetic drawings, the book shows the diversity of the firm's creative output and the singularity of the architects' vision. This book accompanies an exhibition organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art and includes two critical essays on the firm's architecture and planning projects, a historical reconstruction and analysis of the decorative arts commissions, an illustrated checklist of projects and buildings, and a chronology of significant events in the lives of Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown and the evolution of their firm. --From publisher's description.
