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.

    Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a
    few of the images aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure
    why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same outcome.

  11. Great I should definitely pronounce, impressed with your
    site. I didn’t have difficulty navigating throughas well as related info ended up being truly
    easy to access.

  13. Does your website have a contact page? I’m having
    problems locating it but, I’d like to send you an e-mail.
    I’ve got some suggestions for your blog you might be interested in hearing.
    Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it expand over time.

    All you want can be a flexible outdoor extension cord as well
    as a nearby electrical outlet to have started.
    Again, safe heat applied inside the proper location may solve the condition temporarily but it really will probably happen again if
    the weather temperature drops. When you obtain a used snow blower, you will probably be able to pay off away snow considerably quicker and far
    more easily than you ever could by shoveling, and you
    will probably be able to save lots of money by going for the used model instead of a new one.

    first comment, yeeey!

  18. Those are yours alright! . We at least need to get these people stealing images to start blogging! They probably just did a image search and grabbed them. They look good though!

  19. Have you ever thought about including a little bit more
    than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all.
    But just imagine if you added some great photos or videos
    to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent
    but with images and videos, this site could undeniably be one of the greatest in its niche.
    Fantastic blog! http://www.Elza.co.il/forum/profile.php?id=470905
