Introduction

Robert Venturi is a world-famous architect. In 1925, he was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Princeton University and a master's degree. He also won a scholarship from the American Institute of Architecture. In the late 1950s, he founded his own architectural design firm. Since 1964, Venturi has been a partnership with John Rauch, who married Denise Scott Brown in 1967 and began his partnership. As a successful architect, he wrote quite a lot of books and portrayed the complexity and contradictions in architecture. Since he returned from Las Vegas, his innovative thinking has influenced many people, and he has extended his creative design to teapots, coffee makers, platters and candlesticks.

The early work of Venturi was influenced by Louis Essell and Airo Sarina, and was also greatly influenced by Michelangelo, Palladio, Le Corbusier and Alvar Aalto. Impact. He said: "In all works, Alva Aalto's work has the greatest revelation to me. It is the most dynamic and connected, and is the most abundant source of learning art and technology." The buildings designed by Venturi are always related to society and culture. His creativity is inspired by all historical buildings and existing models, so his design is both personal and connected to the local environment. Although he has given up many beliefs, his work is still considered part of the postmodern period.

When designing, Venturi likes to combine simple and beautifully carved formats, often with irony and comedy in the comprehensive design plan, often guided by international style and pop art, and his works are also treated as A model of design planes, often commemorative and decorative. He is decorated with markers and symbols, uses simple geometric figures, and incorporates them into his design. He said: "Architecture should involve the connection between the society and history of architecture." Venturi quoted Mies van der Rohe's famous saying: "Less is more" and formed his own point of view. “Less is more” does not mean that more decoration is needed for a certain benefit, but it is richer in style and form.

Venturi's ideas are often imitated by Others, such as the front wall of a mountain-shaped house often separated by a separate part and a recessed central part. In his designs, he often used large windows to expand traditional semi-circular windows, which often appeared in the buildings he designed.

Venturi always combines contact and assimilation in a grand context, making his architecture complement the local environment in a harmonious way. They don't neglect the surrounding environment because of their existing purposes. He said: "I like the complexity and opposition in architecture. This is based on the ambiguity and richness of modern perspectives, but also in connection with art. Among them."

Robert Venturi and his companions Rauch and Scott Brown are both elites in the architectural world. In 1991, he won the architectural prize, the Pritzker Architecture Prize. His designs are often abstract and have traces of history, but the design range is quite extensive, including libraries, residential areas, business buildings, and other related projects.
