Contact seller5-star sellerFirst edition of this essential document of architectural literature. Octavo, original gray cloth, illustrated. Boldly signed by Robert Venturi and Vincent Scully on the title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Introduction by Vincent Scully. Rare and desirable signed by both Venturi and Scully. As Venturi's "gentle manifest…o for a nonstraightforward architecture," Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture expresses in the most compelling and original terms the postmodern rebellion against the purism of modernism.
