Résumé:

"The ten selected essays, a number of which were presented at a three-day international conference co-organized by MoMA to celebrate the 50th anniversary of "Complexity and Contradiction" in 2016, address diverse issues, such as the book's relationship to Venturi's own built oeuvre and its significance in the contemporary landscape. Additional short commentaries by contemporary practitioners attest to 'Complexity's' enduring influence on architectural practice. Together, these two volumes expand the horizons of--and introduce a new generation to--Venturi's 'Gentle manifesto.'" --Artbook website (viewed on July 22, 2019)
