Item Number: 145010 Title: ROBERT VENTURI'S Rome Author: Harby, Stephen ; Frederick Fisher Price: Not Available ISBN: 9781939621870 Description: New York: ORO Editions, 2017. 24cm., pbk., 112pp. illus. New edition. Summary: Robert Venturi’s Rome is a guidebook to the city of Rome seen through the eyes of Robert Venturi and re- interpreted by two subsequent Rome Prize fellows and architects, Frederick Fisher and Stephen Harby. Published in 1966, Venturi viewed architecture, landscape and art as different manifestations of common themes. Fundamental to the development of any young architects’ outlook on architecture, Venturi wrote this seminal publication following a two-year Rome Prize fellowship at the American Academy in Rome. Many buildings in Rome serve as examples that illustrate his theories, underscoring the city’s profound influence on Venturi’s thinking: from the Pantheon, through works by his favorite artist, Michelangelo, and on to 20th century buildings by Armando Brasini and Luigi Moretti, Venturi reveals Rome as a complex and contradictory city.
