Vanna Venturi House
A house for Venturi’s mother that helped announce Postmodernism and the claim that less is a bore.
Distorted gables, arches, and symmetry test complexity and contradiction.
It is a theoretical and formal challenge to modernist minimalism.
A small house generated an unusually large architectural debate.
Architect Robert Venturi
