Mies van der Rohe & Robert Venturi – Chalk and Cheese

Mies Van Der Rohe & Robert Venturi, both amazing, accomplished and recognised designers – but you could find a more different pair.

Farnsworth House The Vanna Venturi House

I’d like to show you Petar Pavlov’s visual interpretation of the two master designers via these portraits he produced for exhibition in Florence organized by the president of Accademia Italiana, Dr. Vincenzo Giubba.- I spoke with him earlier this week to find out the inspiration behind each compelling, completely opposite portraits.

The subject of the exhibition was “Less is more / Less is a bore”. These are very popular quotes in the design world. The first one is quoted by Mies van der Rohe, a radical minimalist, and the second belongs to Robert Venturi who has a more humanistic approach to the design process.

In order to capture this debate, I created two posters with their portraits. The Rohe’s portrait was a very minimal one, almost like a constructivist drawing. On the other hand, Robert Venturi’s portrait had more of a human touch. The posters were placed as if they are looking at each other and still trying to decide which one is right

As for me, both of these geniuses were right, and both of them were wrong at the same time. I think of designing as prostitution. We don’t choose the style that fits to us, we choose what fits to the project so we can satisfy our clients, because at the end of the day we get paid for those services.

    It’s a result of the fire communicated in the post I looked at.
    And after this article design tavern » Less is MORE vs.
    Less is BORE. I was moved enough to drop a thought ;) I actually do have some questions for you
    if it’s allright. Is it just me or do some of these responses look like they are coming from brain dead individuals?

    :-P And, if you are posting at other online social sites, I’d like to follow anything new
    you have to post. Would you list every one of your shared sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed,
    or linkedin profile?

  25. I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

  26. Hey, you used to write magnificent, but the last several posts have
    been kinda boring? I miss your tremendous writings. Past several posts are just a bit out of track!
    come on!

  27. Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

  29. Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

  30. My brother recommended I might like this website. He was totally right.

    This post truly made my day. You cann’t imagine simply how much time
    I had spent for this information! Thanks!

  34. When I originally commented I seem to have
    clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and
    now every time a comment is added I get four emails with the same
    comment. Is there a means you can remove me from that service?
    Kudos!

  35. The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

  36. It’s an amazing paragraph designed for all the internet people;
    they will take advantage from it I am sure.
