Robert Venturi





Robert Venturi (born June 25, 1925) is a Philadelphia-based architect who
worked under Eero Saarinen and Louis Kahn before forming his own firm with
John Rausch. Venturi's wife Denise Scott Brown joined the firm. He won the
Pritzker Prize in 1991. He is best described as a post-modernist because of
his promotion of what has been called "kitsch of high capitalism".
