Vanna Venturi House, Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, PA (Robert Venturi)

  • Complexity and contradiction. Elements that are redundant and simple, etc. More is not less.
  • "Caricature" of the front of the house. Creation of spaces that don't exist within modernism, the goal of the house is for it to have "something going on" rather than being a machine for living in.
  • Contemporary life is messy, and architecture should reflect that.
