Robert Charles Venturi Jr. is one of the founding five of postmodernism in American Architecture. He is the founding member of his firm Scott Brown and Associates along with his wife Denise Scott Brown. This husband and wife team is regarded as being one of the two most influential architects in this century not only through theory but also through practice. Both are teachers, planners and designers who have made a big impact on modern design.
ne of his famous museums is the Allen Art Museum addition in Oberlin Ohio that he designed in 1973. This is a very well known example of a postmodern façade. It is a flat Corbusier style one-story building built into the side of a hill that is dandied up with a checkerboard pattern of pink Granite and red sandstone.
These famous buildings were preceded by a home he built for his mother in Philadelphia. Known as the Vanna Venturi house it was constructed in 1959 as an experiment that would reveal the simplest components of a house. It is a simple design that consists of one long gabled roof, a central door and rows of windows that is large, majestic and referential to Roman architecture and a barn in the country at the same time.
Here are some of his most famous buildings:
