Description: (American Architect)
Robert Venturi co-founded the firm Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates with Denise Scott Brown, revolutionizing architectural thinking through innovative buildings, planning projects, theoretical writings, and teaching. Challenging traditional modernist principles, Venturi advocated for complexity and contradiction in architecture. His famous saying, "Less is a bore," critiqued Mies van der Rohe's minimalism. Venturi received the Pritzker Prize in Architecture in 1991.
