Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture (Museum of Modern Art Papers on Architecture)

A quintessential book in every architect's life.

Print quality is good. But little high in rate for a black and white book. Just now started reading.... Content is written in easy English.

A great book by a great architect and theorist. A milestone publication.

Finally I got a new copy of one of my favorite books in architecture theory. I lost my old one and was really happy to find it on the book market. A really great book about the complex issues and sometimes contradictory matters in architecture.

The format, while great for images and its appreciation, makes it difficult for a comfort reading possition. Also, I believe while excellent ideas, Venturi doesn't always express himself in the most adecuate way.

Interesting and educating book useful for budding architect and those interested in architecture like me

good reading
